New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ campaign team is virtually nonexistent. He’s losing support to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. And he’s polling at historic lows. But on Tuesday, Adams proclaimed an imminent start to his reelection bid in a freewheeling press conference that included a discourse on his federal bribery case and an admission that he’s stopped reading the news.

The Cuomo staffer worked last year on an effort to defeat a statewide non-discrimination measure, rallying voters to “Save Girls’ Sports.”
