Projected NYC Democratic mayoral primary winner Eric Adams: "New York is going to show America how to run cities"
CBSN
Eric Adams may soon be the next mayor of America's biggest city. In the race to choose New York City's next mayor, the Associated Press projected Adams as the winner of the Democratic primary on Tuesday. He leads former city sanitation commissioner Kathryn Garcia by just over 8,000 votes. Garcia conceded to Adams on Wednesday morning.
Adams will face Republican Curtis Sliwa in November's general election. As the Democratic nominee, he would be the favorite to win, becoming the second Black mayor in New York's history. In his first national interview since being projected as the Democratic primary winner, Adams told "CBS This Morning" that New York City is going to be an example for the rest of the country once he is elected.More Related News
