The midterm elections are less than six months away and, as the Democrats are bracing to be wiped out by Republican opponents, the conversation will soon be shifting toward the continued viability of President Joe Biden as head of the party. Whether he steps aside or is usurped through infighting remains in question, but rumblings of a potential challenger for 2024 have emerged from the Big Apple.
Name ID remains one of the driving factors behind electability in American politics and, though he has only been in office since January, NYC Mayor Eric Adams (D) taken numerous measures to get recognized on the national stage. As such, the former state senator and Brooklyn borough president is believed to be seeking the highest rung on the ladder as he continues his ascent.
Sources close to hizzoner have expressed the mayor’s interests in White House are more than just rumors, the New York Post reported on Saturday. “Eric has told me repeatedly that he thinks that he has a platform to run for national office, for president in 2024,” an individual close to the mayor stated.
“He has said that repeatedly,” the report continued. “He thinks New York is a national platform. He thinks the national party has gotten too far to the left and he thinks he has a platform to win.”

Adams has routinely postured himself as tough on crime and has made efforts to realign Democrats as the pro-policing party while accusing Republicans of absconding with that stance. “They have allowed Rudy Giuliani to hijack something that the overwhelming number of people of color want,” he told Anderson Cooper of the former mayor’s successes in combating crime in NYC.
“They will tell you, ‘We want our police. We don’t want our police to be abusive.’ And that is the balance that I know we can do in this – in this city,” he went on.
An elected Democrat from Brooklyn added credence the rumors, but clarified that Adams wasn’t looking to challenge Biden and was only, “considering a White House run in 2024 if Biden doesn’t seek re-election.”
An anonymous Republican lawmaker was also cited as having had conversations with Adams on the subject noting, “I said you really have to consider that you are young enough where you will have a life after the mayoralty and if you solve the crime problem there would be a lot of interest in a big city Democrat, African American with progressive values but who mediated the crime problem in a major city.”
So far, the mayor’s measures have appeared more as PR moves than proactive steps to reduce crime as nearly all metrics continue to see stark increases over 2021 with grand larceny and robbery among the worst, up over 53 and 42 percent respectively. Meanwhile, the mayor’s jet-setting lifestyle, hobnobbing with celebrities, present him as being more interested in gaining favor than addressing the city’s needs and growing disapproval reflects that.
Evan Thies, a New York based public relations consultant, told Business Insider any claims that Adams is focused beyond his current role are “one-hundred percent false” and added, “There’s a difference between gossip and news–and the truth is that the mayor is completely focused on bringing New York City back by lowering crime, growing our economy and reversing inequality.”
For his part, Adams expressed something similar to The Post, albeit in a way that didn’t discredit where his aspirations may lie, “That’s a silly, silly story. I never had a conversation about that and I love being mayor, and you can run the country from New York City. I’m the mayor. That’s all I’m focused on.”

ROTF LMFAO!!! De Blassio Jr. and we already can see what a great job Adams as mayor of NYC has done so far. Yet again fraudulent voting got Biden elected.
Crooked, back alley race baiting pimp will eventually be exposed for the corrupt POS that he truly is.
Just what the Americans need ,another clueless ,demented AHole wanting to be President.
How do you expect to do that when you jump a plane seeking advice from the beetle juice guppy of Chicago,who I might add has her ugly face rammed
Up her ass . Two clueless Racist AHole demorats.
Both from shithole cities.
Stupid is what stupid does . Especially if one votes at all for them .
There is an odd notion among New Yorkers that the rest of the nation doesn’t hate them… Sure, every region and city has its detractors – Southern redneck haters, detesters of California loonies, dislike of arrogant New Englanders, esp. from Massachusetts and esp from Boston, but no place so consistently evokes disgust, disdain and dislike the way New Yorkers do and yet every hack, crook, incompetent and bottom-feeding slime sucker who becomes Mayor of NYC immediately believes that they are ready for prime time and the Presidency, just by reason of having been elected mayor of NYC. It is an odd belief given that every mayor (save one) of NYC, at least since the end of the 19th century, has pursued the Presidency and yet NOT A SINGLE ONE has ever been remotely successful – and yet the delusion persists. You’d think they’d have figured it out, but they never do, whcih may very well explain why they never do….
Adams is doing so well, they want DeBlasio back. He is simply putting the finishing nails in the coffin built by Comrade Bill.
That’s him trying to catch a train that’s long ago left the station.
Phucking idiot can’t even run his city, and he wants to run the country, yeah right. No one wants biden 2.0
This is not worth words beyond these . Fk off.dunderhead .
Bingo ! Now fkjbiden is in Japan saying on video live that he will go
To WAR if China attacks Taiwan.
War ! What a fuckn stupid ,not thought out response .
He’s fkd everything he gets involved with soooo ,why not China .
Get rid of this Ahole .
Groan… Can’t run a city, but thinks he can run a country.
He went to the beetle juicer for advice and he wants to be President.
The Chicago juicer can’t run her/ his own city .
Imagine her as VP and the idiot as President.
You’d be better of with dementia man and the ho .
😂😂😂😂
How DELUSIONAL can one be?? He was elected Mayor by many of the SAME PEOPLE who voted to put the bartender into the House!! There is a limited supply of STUPID out there!!
Anybody who would vote for this man, after the incompetent job he’s doing, is a fool, IMO. He can’t even handle New York City, nor can the current governor handle that state. Both are very incompetent, IMO.
Relax America ,President Trump WILL be back .
It will happen .
Do only delusional people get elected Mayor of NYC?
Spell check…. “Another”, not “not her”
Mayor Eric Adams is just not her Narcissistic, delusional, progressive politician who thinks the entire country dwells within his narrow minded and anti-American echo chamber.
Lets see, people getting shot on the subway in broad daylight. Black shooter, white victim, and this Ginger wants to run for the WH. Eric Adams is a POS Ginger
I wouldn’t vote for this man if he was running for dog catcher. Look what he has done for NYC nothing. Lies,Lies, and more Lies
Laughable!!
Nothing like delusion of grandeur!
The only person he would be better than is Biden, Camel-a, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, Buttidgege………..heck, this idiot is almost a shoe-in for the nomination.
“the mayor’s measures have appeared more as PR moves than proactive steps to reduce crime”
Politicians don’t solve problems. They seek issues with which to get votes, raise money, and increase their power. A solved problem gets them none of this.
This fraudulent sub-moronic gay pimp liar is a typically arrogant stupid mouli who couldn’t manage a mens room. What a laughable no class sambo.
Well said!
He’s just as left as the rest of them, but hey, go for it, split the votes
I think the pimp should clean up NYC first. Shows you how Insane dems really are.
This just goes to show how stupid these democrat terrorists are……… go for it n word!
Adams is contemplating a pipe dream. So I would suggest that Adams put his pipe down and leave the wackey tabaccy alone. Obviously he has a very low tolerance . Maybe i would suggest some brownies but, that would be considered racist by some.
That’s not the kind of ‘pipe’ this sambo dreams about.
Good luck with that. In the 6 months he’s been in office he’s revealed himself as a completely ineffective mayor and an arrogant liar. His approval is declining rapidly. His ego is a match for de Blasio.
Just like the Obamessiah, Adams wants to go from the mail room to the CEO job!
Dont you mean the bathhouse?
They’ve both oiled up in the ‘bathhouse’ 50 thousand times.
So far, the mayor’s measures have appeared more as PR moves than proactive steps to reduce crime as nearly all metrics continue to see stark increases over 2021 with grand larceny and robbery among the worst, up over 53 and 42 percent respectively.
Just another typical Democrat, pretending to be something he is not. Then reality kicks in and his actions prove to be the fatal flaw in his lies. So go ahead idiot, run for President. You might even get fraudulently elected. You sure can’t be any worse than the imbecile Biden.
