Eric Adams announced Thursday that he will not seek the Democratic nomination for mayor — instead pushing all his chips in on a longshot run as an independent candidate. Hizzoner dropped the bombshell news in a campaign video announcement — just one day after a federal judge killed his corruption case for good. “More than 25,000 New Yorkers signed my Democratic primary petition, but the dismissal of the bogus case against me dragged on too long, making it impossible to mount a primary campaign while these false accusations were held over me,” Adams said in the six-minute spiel.
