Adams had just finished announcing the launch of a controversial police unit dedicated to rooting out illegal handguns and was headed to City Hall as more than 100 politicians and activists gathered outside the Tweed Courthouse, around the corner from his office.
“I don’t think it’s a secret that the Left has been in disarray,” Zara Nasir of “The People’s Plan” told Politico. “I’m not trying to hide it. This is an attempt to do something a little bit more coordinated and aligned than things have been.

“The strategy is to focus on policies and issues.”
Adams has opted to again fund the police while cutting the bloated budget of former Progressive Mayor Bill de Blasio – much to Progressives’ chagrin.
“Our communities have been devastated in ways that are measurable and unfathomable,” Jawanza James Williams of the activist group VOCAL-NY told a Saturday rally. “And Eric Adams’ proposed preliminary budget does not account for our realities, does not account for our nuances.”

While Adams won the Democratic primary by 7,197 votes, he is proving bold enough to enact his agenda, according to Politico.
“We can’t fail, and there are too many people who believe we must be safe, and we can’t be distracted by the loud noise of the numerical minority that believes we can’t move this agenda forward,” Adams told ABC.

“We have to be compassionate, but we have to be clear that laws must be followed.”
That messaging has bolstered rare support for Adams from Republicans, including Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman.
“I’m very happy that our neighbor to the west — New York City — with the new leadership of Mayor Eric Adams, has taken a tough stance on law and order,” Blakeman told Sunday’s “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM-N.Y. “I commend him. He is one of the few Democrat elected officials that have common sense and understands how important law and order and safety [are] to our communities.”

Adams has to stem the tide of rising crime and a mass exodus of business and people from the city, Blakeman noted, speaking to host John Catsimatidis.
“If you don’t feel safe in your community, if you don’t feel safe in your home, you’re going to move,” Blakeman finally concluded.
