Mayor Adams may be eyeing a White House run if President Biden doesn’t seek a second term, confidantes and City Hall insiders told The Post.
“Eric has told me repeatedly that he thinks that he has a platform to run for national office, for president in 2024. He has said that repeatedly. He thinks New York is a national platform. He thinks the national party has gotten too far to the left and he thinks he has a platform to win,” a person close to the mayor said. A Brooklyn Democratic elected official who was also frequently in talks with the mayor said Adams was “considering a White House run in 2024 if Biden doesn’t seek re-election,” adding that Adams’ advisor Ingrid Lewis-Martin was “running point” on the issue. There is growing chatter that the gaffe-prone president — now 79 years old — may call it quits after one term, though he has privately insisted he will seek re-election. Even a GOP lawmaker broached the topic with Adams. “I said you really have to consider that you are young enough where you will have a life after the mayoralty and if you solve the crime problem there would be a lot of interest in a big city Democrat, African American with progressive values but who mediated the crime problem in a major city, Adams’ Big Apple agenda — including dismantling state bail reform — has been stymied by left-wing party leaders in Albany. Adams has likewise positioned himself as an avowed enemy of the socialist wing. It remains an open question so far whether Adams will be able to reduce the scourge of city crime, which has continued to soar during his administration. Polls show voters are losing patience. If Adams did run, he would continue in a long tradition of Big Apple mayors who have sought the nation’s top job, including his three most recent predecessors, Bill de Blasio, Michael Bloomberg and Rudy Giuliani. No NYC mayor has ever gone on to take the nation’s top job. Mayor Adams himself let slip that the idea was at least on his mind. |

The Illinois state Governor, JD Pritzker, is also eyeing a run for President. He has destroyed Illinois with the exact same policies that Biden and the leftist Congress have pushed, but Pritzker got them passed with an overwhelmingly democrat majority legislature, sealing the doom and destruction of Illinois in less than 30 years. Probably much less. Pritzker, a multi-billionaire, is riding high on his own lies and thinks he is Presidential material, and all positioned to take over the White House.
He is up for re-election this year and it is my fervent hope he is voted out, helping Illinois and destroying any long-term political aspirations. He has become widely hated here in Illinois and it seems a real good chance he will be gone. |

Must not be enough ways to grift & launder as mayor of NYC...
|
|
Going to need more than black. Needs a tranny Muslim VP who has at least 3 abortions to run as Dem.
|
|
Hasn't even done that good a job with America's Sodom or finished one full term and already thinks he's presidential material - talk about an case of massive Affirmative Action engendered entitlement....

Eric who?
He has as much chance as my dog. NY is a shithole, crime is out of control, and he is an asshole from the little he has been in the national news. The only things for sure in 2024 is he won't win and Biden won't run. |

|
It must be going pretty bad for him since he just started that job and is already looking to leave.
|
|
If he had to run again today in NYC, he’d lose. No chance he ever win a National race.
|
|
I saw Gavin Newsom said he isn't running and endorsed Kamala. The Dems are a mess lol.

|
|
No cracker is going to vote for him.
|
|
Is that &^%$# going to crack down on crackers, maybe bust some heads?
|
|
|
Just shows how insufferable these individuals are. No matter how bad they suck, they still think they're the shit.

Getting a little ahead of yourself, aren't you Eric? FFS he's only been Mayor of NYC for less than 6 months and accomplished precisely dick. I know you're counting on the black vote but come on.

He's delusional. The only reason he won in NYC is because he had "D" next to his name.
