Despite blasting Biden for migrant crisis— Eric Adams says he will support him in 2024
NY Post
New York City Mayor Eric Adams criticized President Biden on Wednesday for withholding much-needed relief to mitigate the city’s migrant crisis — all while insisting he will support the president’s re-election even if someone stronger on border issues enters the race.
After being shown the cover of today’s New York Post, which features a lone Border Patrol agent staring down thousands of migrants waiting to cross into Texas, Adams admitted he was “confused” why the Biden administration still won’t help with asylum seekers even after his 10th trip to Washington to beg for subsidies.
“I am lost. I am confused on this topic on why we still, almost 20 months later, we’re still talking about this issue and it has inundated the city,” Adams said during an interview on Fox 5.
“We’re at 150,000 [migrants]. There’s $5 billion in our budget. $12 billion over the three-year period. It is really impacting the basic services in our city and we need relief,” he said.
Adams was then asked if he would vote for someone else in the upcoming presidential election if there were a candidate who said they wanted to “take a different approach to the border.”
Despite his grievances — and the fact that just a day ago, Hizzoner called on New Yorkers to flood the streets of Washington, DC, to protest the overwhelming cost of the migrant crisis — Adams said he still plans to vote for Biden in 2024.
