New York City Mayor Eric Adams has abandoned his reelection bid in an announcement on Sunday.

“And yet, despite all we’ve achieved, I cannot continue my re election 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,” Adams said.
