Eric Adams ends the campaign for the mayor of New York City

The Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, announced on Sunday that he is suspending his campaign for the mayor, just weeks after the observed elections.

Adams announced its decision in a Video in x.

The mayor, who was running as an independent, resisted the calls to previously abandon the opponents of the nominee Democrat Zohran Mamdani, who worried that he and former independent governor Andrew Cuomo would divide the vote.

ABC News previously reported that it is too late for Adams name to be removed from the ballot.

Adams said he could not continue his offer because he said it was the speculation of the media and funds held by the New York City Finance Board, which has retained coincident funds of the Adams campaign due to alleged or suspicion of violations of the financing rules of the New York City campaign, “has undermined my ability to raise the necessary funds for a serious campaign.”

“When I was chosen to serve as your mayor, I said these words: this campaign was never about me. They were the people of this city, of all the neighborhoods and background, that they had been left behind and believed that they would never put themselves up to date. This campaign was for the unattended, the marginalized, the abandoned and betrayed by the government,” Adams said in the video.

“Since then, it has been an honor to be your mayor. And I am proud to say that we took that victory four years ago and we turned it into action, which makes this city better for those who had failed the government.”

Adams also indicated that he will fulfill the rest of his mandate in office.

“Although this is the end of my re -election campaign, it is not the end of my public service. I will continue to fight for this city, as I have done for 40 years, from the day I joined the New York Police so that our streets are safer and our most fair systems,” he said.

Adams did not support any candidate for the mayor.
