CBSN
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, Eric Adams, are holding a press conference on Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET to discuss gun violence in the city. The governor says he will be making an announcement.
Eric Adams, who is Brooklyn Borough president, said earlier this week New York City needs a "joint gang and guns" task force, as the Big Apple experiences a surge in gun violence. Adams was among the local leaders who met with President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland at the White House on Monday. Adams told CBSN he believes progress was made during the meeting, and said he's "extremely pleased" with the energy the president is bringing to the conversation.More Related News
