White House Is Reportedly Attempting To Offer Democrat NYC Mayor Eric Adams A Job

I’m not so sure how I feel about this.

A new report by the New York Post has revealed that White House officials are currently in talks of hiring Democrat mayor of New York City Eric Adams.

The move by the Trump administration is an attempt to get Adams to drop out so that another Democrat or Republican mayoral candidate can defeat socialist Zohran Mamdani in the upcoming New York City mayoral elections.

The New York Post reported more details on the offer by the White House:

Top White House officials are in talks over a potential job for Eric Adams in President Trump’s administration — as pressure mounts for mayoral candidates to drop out and clear the lane for the strongest challenger against socialist Zohran Mamdani, The Post has learned.

The conversations about a potential plum gig for Adams have been taking place among high-level Trump officials, but it’s unclear if they have reached the president’s desk, sources said.

“I think Adams would be able to craft a position and a portfolio that’s to his liking,” a source close to Trump’s administration said.

“I’ve heard the Adams team wants it,” another source close to the White House said.

Fox 5 NY reported Adams has declared he will not drop out of the New York City race:

Top White House officials are reportedly in talks over potentially offering NYC Mayor Eric Adams a job within the Trump administration as calls for him to drop out of the race have intensified.

Conversations about a role for Adams have been taking place among high-level White House officials, but it’s unclear if the plans have made their way to the president’s desk yet, according to The New York Times.

In response to speculation about his future in the mayor’s race, a spokesperson for Mayor Adams said: “Mayor Adams has not met with Donald Trump — don’t believe the noise. He is not dropping out of the race. The Mayor is fully committed to winning this election, with millions of New Yorkers preparing to cast their votes. His record is clear: crime is down, jobs are up, and he has consistently stood up for working families. Mayor Adams is focused on building on that progress and earning four more years to continue delivering for the people of New York.”

Independent Mayoral Candidate Curtis Sliwa also released a statement: “The White House has not contacted me, and I’m not interested in a job with the Whitehouse. My focus is right here in New York. I’m the only candidate on a major party line who can defeat Mamdani, and I’m committed to carrying this fight through to Election Day. The people of New York City deserve a mayor who truly cares.”
