The incumbent mayor of NYC was facing an uphill battle this election season after losing his own party's nomination.
Now, the fearless leader of the world's greatest city is calling it quits in this nine minute long farewell video.
Despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my reelection campaign. The constant media speculation about my future and the campaign finance board's decision to withhold millions of dollars have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign.
Eric Adams' exit has paved the way for Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist candidate, to take the job.
(It's not like Adams was putting up much of a fight anyways.)
After Adam's announcement, the mayor sent out this tweet, asking why no one cares about Christians in Nigeria.
This fueled rumors that Adams may be auditioning for a place in the Trump administration after he leaves office.
I mean ... he isn't wrong here.
Here are a few tributes to the soon-to-be former mayor of New York.
And this was too insane to pass up.
His opponent, Mamdani, didn't have anything too nice to say about the mayor after the announcement.
Not exactly "graceful in victory" is he?
