CNN —New York City Mayor Eric Adams, the rank-and-file transit cop who rose to the city’s most powerful office, is no longer the master of his political destiny. President Joe Biden, asked at the White House on Thursday if Adams should resign, said, “I don’t know.”What will Jeffries do? “We need Eric Adams to be successful as mayor because he is the mayor at this moment in time,” Jeffries said. “No one is above the law, including the Mayor of New York City,” Schumer said in a statement. “This is squarely about Mayor Adams’ ability to govern New York City, and for the New York City governance to be fully staffed to serve the people of New York City,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters Wednesday afternoon on Capitol Hill before news of the indictment broke.

On Fridays, he said, there is a tradition among some Republican members of the State House of Delegates to wear camel suit jackets, a decades-old ritual in which he has not participated. “I think that politics today is a lot different from politics of the past,” Delegate Hanna, 23, said. He started wearing the beret while organizing Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, he said. Later, when he announced his campaign for City Council, it became a way for people to recognize him.
