NYC Now Explains: How the Adams Administration Fell into Chaos
from NYC NOW · host WNYC
Welcome to our new weekend series! Over the next few Saturdays, host Janae Pierre and a cast of WNYC reporters will take a deep dive into the chaos that has consumed the Adams Administration. For months now, the mayor has been at the mercy of colliding political powers — caught between his base of Democratic voters, federal prosecutors, a governor with the power to remove him from office, and, of course, President Trump. We explain how we got to this moment and dig into what’s at stake for the mayor and the people of New York City. In today’s episode, WNYC City Hall reporter Elizabeth Kim looks at how Mayor Adams forged an unexpected political alliance with the president and how it has reshuffled the race for the next mayor.
