Adams Faces Mounting Scandals and Criticism, Evoking Cuomo's Downfall
-
Mayor Eric Adams faces multiple scandals reminiscent of former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo's downfall, including an FBI probe into campaign finances and a sexual assault allegation.
-
Adams' fate depends on support from fellow Democrats - if they turn on him like they did with Cuomo, it could spell the end of his administration.
-
Adams hasn't endeared himself to Democrats by criticizing Biden's handling of the migrant crisis, which has put pressure on NYC's budget.
-
The sexual assault allegation against Adams stems from 1993, so is less immediately damaging than Cuomo's recent misconduct.
-
The FBI investigation into potential illegal foreign donations to Adams' 2021 campaign could prove the most serious threat to his political career.
