Eric Adams was sworn in as the 110th mayor of New York City just after the ball dropped at midnight on Saturday, CBS New York reports. Adams used his family's Bible to take the oath of office in Times Square with members of his family by his side.
Adams, a former captain in the New York Police Department and Brooklyn borough president, was elected mayor in November, becoming just the second Black mayor in the city's history. He defeated Republican Curtis Sliwa for the position.
He now faces the challenge of grappling with the coronavirus pandemic in the city, which is seeing record case numbers fueled by the Omicron variant.
