New York City Mayor Eric Adams will not be seeking reelection, abandoning his campaign less than two months before election day.
In a video message posted to his X account on Sunday afternoon, Adams talked about how "only in America" can a man like him become mayor of a city like New York.
"It has been my honor to be your mayor and I am proud to say that we took that victory four years ago and turned it into action, making this city better for those who have been failed by government," Adams said.

Adams touted his reported accomplishments, from the economy and housing to a drop in crime, rising test scores and the expansion of welfare program funding.
