Adams’ Sour Grapes Leaves Bitter Taste for Mamdani

“Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams, channeling his inner Kevin McCallister, rigged City Hall in the waning days of his term with a maze of governmental booby traps primed to stymie his successor, Zohran Mamdani,” Politico reports.

“Most of those efforts failed through a combination of bad timing, limits on Adams’ power and general ham-fistedness. But the former mayor managed to lay one tripwire so consequential that it has triggered weeks of legal and political scrambling — and raised questions about whether it can be disarmed at all.”
