Mayor Adams still has chance to walk away a winner

Even with the corruption clouds that hover over him, the dismal survey numbers and the dollars of the declining campaign, the mayor Adams, who puts a difficult battle for re-election, could always repel a winner.

The key expression is “leaving” there.

According to reports, Adams, the charismatic mayor of the largest city in the country plans to do exactly that, moving away from the position he spent all his life trying to achieve.

“Serving New Yorkers as mayor is the only job I have ever wanted.

“Although I always listen to if I am called to serve our country, no formal offer has been made. I always present myself for re -election, and my goal is to focus on the safety and quality of life of each New Yorker. ”

The line “Serve our country” was a reference to rumors that President Trump could offer Adams a job in his administration to get him out of the mayor’s race and erase the land so that a single candidate challenges the Democratic front runner, Zohran Mamdani during the general elections in November.

The work that Trump would be suspended in front of Adams? Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.

And, if you do not think that ADAMS and the oil producing nation of the Middle East are a match made in political paradise, consider the alternative.

Ambassador to federal prison.

This time, a year ago, Adams faced accusations of conspiracy, corruption and fraud by wire after having become the first mayor in office to become a criminal defendant.

It was before Trump’s Ministry of Justice rushed five months ago and officially dropped the accusations.

Trump seems to jump again, offering the mayor another option against the independent campaign late from Adams.

But Trump, as always, undoubtedly has a ulterior motive. He does not like Mamdani, a democratic socialist, he therefore tried to position the former governor Andrew Cuomo, who also presents himself as independent, as the only opponent of Mamdani.

The least of two ailments.

He also wants the Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.

“I don’t think you can win unless you have only one,” Trump told journalists before a White House dinner last week.

He also underlined his opposition to Mamdani

“I would prefer not to have a communist mayor of New York,” Trump said in a search in Mamdani. “And, you know, that’s what it is based on its policy. If you look at its statements in the past.”

The three Mamdani Challengers, including Adams, insisted that they remain in the race, although Adams, which shares a district with Cuomo – in some of his comments – seems to soften. At the same time, he called a last -minute press conference at Gracie Mansion on Friday and said that he was staying and the only candidate who could beat Mamdani.

Cuomo, meanwhile, posted a photo on social networks of a breakfast meeting he had with Reverend Al Sharpton, who has not yet approved.

If Adams plans to negotiate New York against Saudi Arabia, no one should blame him for making this decision.

This does not mean that Adams should withdraw. But if he did it, he should not feel ashamed about it.

Adams, against all odds, must have been mayor of New York. And, although he has trouble shaking scandals, there have been achievements along the way for which he should be proud.

Unlike Cuomo, who resigned from his post as a disgrace governor in the midst of the scandals of the nursing and sexual care he denies, Adams has the opportunity to complete his mandate with his head.

Adams, who likes to compare himself to the first black mayor of New York, David Dinkins, has another opportunity.

After retiring from the NYPD as a captain, Adams appeared on the Voting Bulletin for the State Senate, president of Brooklyn Borough and mayor.

He can retire undefeated.

Even Dinkins couldn’t say that.
