Mayor Adams responded Tuesday to new reports that subpoenas issued by federal prosecutors to him, his election committee and City Hall included demands for information about interactions with five countries as part of an investigation into whether his 2021 campaign accepted illegal contributions from Turkey.Clarifying a joke, for those who aren't 100% online:
The brief popularity of the view that "man who wins contested 5-way democratic primary in New York City is just what swing voters in Ohio are looking for" was absolutely hilarious, and would have been absolutely hilarious no matter who that person was.It's probably foolish to think a NYC mayor will successfully translate into being a national political figure, but I still think Eric Adams would be in my top 5 for "who will be the next Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden?".
