New York Mayor Eric Adams Faces Resignations Amid Investigation

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing significant turmoil within his administration as multiple aides resign amid ongoing federal investigations into corruption and bribery charges against him. Deputy Mayor Phil Banks recently stepped down after federal authorities seized his phone, and First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright is expected to resign as the sixth senior official to leave amidst the scandal. A Marist poll indicates that 69% of New Yorkers believe Adams should resign, with his approval rating plummeting to 26%. Adams has maintained his innocence, stating that the allegations stem from a one-sided narrative. Meanwhile, Governor Kathy Hochul has not acted to remove Adams but hinted at the need for changes within his administration. The legal challenges could complicate Adams' re-election efforts, with additional charges against him and potentially more resignations on the horizon.
