Eric Adams Abandons Democrat Fundraiser Amid Trump Support Controversy

Eric Adams, the Democrat mayor of New York City, has decided to skip the 'Somos' fundraiser, a significant event for the party, taking place in Puerto Rico. This decision comes a day after he publicly congratulated Donald Trump on his electoral victory and engaged in a private phone conversation with him. Adams expressed the need to remain in the city to manage potential chaos following Trump's victory, stating that there is much work to do in the immediate aftermath of the election. Adams' alignment with Trump has raised eyebrows among liberals, especially given his pending federal trial on corruption charges next April. The mayor’s recent comments and actions suggest a troubling bond with Trump, as he awaits the legal proceedings that threaten his political career. The fundraising event is notable as Adams has attended it twice in the past, further underlining the significance of his absence this year.
