🚨 The Gutter Report: Eric Adams Quits the Mayor’s Race
Federal heat, no funds, no future — Adams taps out, leaving NYC wide open
đź“° The Announcement
Eric Adams posted a video this morning confirming what the streets already felt — his run is done. He’s dropping out of the 2025 mayoral race, even though his name will likely stay on the ballot. Just like that, the incumbent mayor tapped out before the fight was even over.

đź’¸ The Money Problem
NYC’s Campaign Finance Board was already playing defense on Adams. Without public matching funds, his campaign had no oxygen. No cash = no campaign. Add that to weak polling numbers, and the walls started closing in fast.

⚖️ The Federal Shadow
Even with the five-count corruption indictment dismissed earlier this year, the damage stuck. The feds accused Adams of trading favors for influence. The judge tossed the case, but the stain never washed off. Every press conference, every headline — the whispers were louder than the facts. And when the Campaign Finance Board was cleared to intervene, it was like a reminder: he might have beat the charges, but he didn’t beat the politics.

🗳️ What It Means for the Race
Zohran Mamdani now has a clean lane to consolidate progressive Democrats.
Andrew Cuomo rises instantly as the big name independent with a shot at redemption.
Curtis Sliwa benefits from the chaos — his outsider pitch hits harder now.
NYC just went from a four-man race with a scandal-clouded incumbent… to a three-man free-for-all with everything on the line.
🧠The Gutter Take
Adams didn’t resign the office, but he resigned the fight.
In New York politics, perception is power — and once you lose that, you’re finished. Adams didn’t just run out of money. He ran out of trust.
