As if the Independents want him 🙄

He should run as a republican. They love criminals

Good.

I'm sure that'll work out for him. Independent candidates are constantly winning elections.

This man has no shame. Doesn't absolve corruption claims. Not for mayor of NYC

He should just run as a criminal at this point.

Good luck asshole!

He won't be re-elected.

Ok NYC Dems you know what to do.

He should just run…away

Good riddance

Adams knows that he can't beat Andrew Cuomo so he's runing as a MAGA independent

Put a fork in him already… he’s done.

Not much choice for someone in his predicament.

👎

F THIS CORRUPT DOUCHE! Kick him all the way to Florida where he belongs

Quelle surprise

Good, he will loose. Come on New Yorkers do better.

Yeah, good luck with that!

🤣😂🤣😂🤡

Independent of the corrupt self dealing party.

He wasn't going to make it through the primary (unless something happens, it looks like Cuomo may be the dem candidate). So his only hope of maybe getting reelected (which I personally doubt) would be to run as an Indy, and then switch parties back after (he WAS an R during Giuliani).

Sharing the swagger ... .

Same evil, different party.

I'm from Maine and have seen this playbook before. He'll throw the election to the republican candidate and pay back the Trump admin for getting his charges dropped.

I don't think Adams could pull enough people to throw anything. People voted for him because they thought he was different -- a good guy -- and he turned out not to be. The cherry on top was seeing him on a leash sitting next to the ICE ahole.

Good! Democrats need to purge all the corrupt politicians they can

What a joke. Nobody will vote for him.

Adams needs to be crushed in this election. State needs to reinstate charges after he loses.

I think the democrats ditched him

Commit fraud and trump will be sure the DOJ drops all charges

Last I heard Adams has raised $93k for his reelection bid. I don't think stepping outside the Democratic primary will help him raise money.

That’s great! Adam’s will lose the Democrats political machine.

Stick a fork in him.

Anyone who bent a knee, received pardon, had Bondi lift a prosecution falls under the net of unqualified, corrupt and needs to face the music. They can run, switch parties or duck but they can't hide. We know who you are. Vote. Vote against corruption, against criminals.

It's an opportunity for all in NYC, who are tired of Trump's lawless, manipulation of elected offices to face the music wherever possible.

Krysten Sinema is his role model. This should turn out very well for him.

hasn't the party already ditched him?

😹😹😹😹😹

That's because he's not a Democrat he's never been a Democrat he's only a criminal out for himself and a traitor to our system of democratic government

Good! Don’t need him.

Stop electing cops.

Absolutely blatant quid pro quo corruption and we will do nothing about it.

You mean 'will lose' as an independent

How to elect a Republican Mayor in New York City.

He should run against Trump, Gaetz, Menendez and Santos for felon of the year.

The minute he lied about where he lived I knew he was a scammer. Independents don't want failed politicians such as Joe Manching and Kyrsten Sinema in our party. GTFO

Seems smart. He's so beloved he doesn't need a political machine behind him, right?

good riddance

Democratic primary would’ve ditched him. Can’t believe this 🤡 has the nerve to run again.

Doesn’t an Adams independent run hurt Cuomo? Which would be great

I'd never vote for Adams. He's a DT minion now. At least Cuomo, with his faults for sure, hasn't gone that far.

Of course he’s wretched

The important thing is he can continue to grift using a political campaign infrastructure.

“I may not be a NY democrat anymore but I’m still just as corrupt!”

Adams is dependent on that bloated filth squatting in the White House….he is now officially a houseboy.

I’m sure this will work out well for him.

Showing it's not just Republicans who are willing to sell their soul to the devil to regain, or stay, in power🤨.

Eric Adam’s entire viewpoint is a very republican type philosophy. I have and will continue to say that he and some other Democrats are only Democrats because they are running in places where Republicans struggle to, or simply can’t, win

He wasn't going to be reelected anyway, so running as an Independent will likely cause him to lose support. He is only running as Independent because he couldn't win the Democratic primary. Perhaps now, a remaining challenger in the primary can keep the corrupt Andrew Cuomo from winning.

Eric Adam’s all like- What can I say? I like… “bad trouble”. 🤣

NYC politics is so fucking stupid.

🤮🤮🤮🤮

He is a maga republican now no matter what label he uses

You knew that ever since he was playing fetch with the border czar on Fox News that there was a plan in place, so here is step one. Disgraceful, they keep treating us like we're blind and don't see what's going on.

Recognizing his slim chances of victory, he's taking a page from RFK Jr.'s playbook—strategically aligning with the GOP to secure future opportunities by diverting votes from the Democratic candidate. Perhaps Trump has dangled the prospect of a cushy position once he starts reshuffling his Cabinet?

And gee, wonder who is gonna fund his campaign.

I wonder who told him to

Is he so oblivious to think that anyone would ever vote for his corrupt ass? Good luck

Ditch him

Shouldn't he be running to jail on account of all the crimes he did?

Well THAT’S suspicious…

Funny how those Dems that are fearful of getting primaried or loosing re-election switch parties to stay relevant in politics. Manchin, Sinema, Pritt

I truly believe that NYC will come together and find an even more unqualified candidate for mayor

It's the NY way!

Andrew Cuomo enters the chat…

Eric Adams couldn’t even wait until after the primary to pull a Bryan Brown.

I never thought I would be anywhere near capable of hating a New York mayor in the way that New Yorkers always hate their Mayors. But Eric Adams is sure as hell doing everything he can to make that possible for me.
