Mayor Eric Adams leaves door open to GOP switch, sparking criticism from Democratic rivals
Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat who once was a registered Republican, did not rule out Friday rejoining the GOP.
Hizzoner, during a Dec. 6 NY1 interview, was asked point blank if he would consider switching parties in light of his increasingly positive tone toward President-Elect Donald Trump. In response, the mayor did not say “yes,” but he also notably did not say “no” either.
“The Party that’s most important to me is the American Party,” the mayor told NY1 anchor Jamie Stelter.
Although he has only held elected office as a Democrat, Adams was a registered Republican for seven years — between 1995 and 2002 — when he was still in the NYPD.
