NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Friday that he won’t succumb to pressure to end his reelection campaign and insisted that he is the only candidate strong enough to beat the Democratic nominee, Zohran Mamdani.

Adams declared his intention to stay in the race at the end of a fraught week that began with a trip to Florida where Trump administration intermediaries sought to assess his willingness to quit the race to take a job with the federal government.

Earlier Friday, Adams appeared to leave the door open to a departure, releasing a statement saying he “will always listen if called to serve our country” but adding he had not yet received any “formal offers.”

Hours later, he summoned reporters to the mayor’s official residence, Gracie Mansion, to slam that door back shut. “I am in this race. And I am the only one who can beat Mamdani,” Adams said.
