He thinks New York is a national platform. He thinks the national party has gotten too far to the left and he thinks he has a platform to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One Republican official in New York claimed he told Adams that he could have a real chance, too, the Post added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said you really have to consider that you are young enough where you will have a life after the mayoralty and if you solve the crime problem there would be a lot of interest in a big city Democrat, African American with progressive values but who mediated the crime problem in a major city,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Adams, for his part, denied the story completely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a silly, silly story. I never had a conversation about that and I love being mayor, and you can run the country from New York City,\u201d Adams told the paper. \u201cI\u2019m the mayor. That\u2019s all I\u2019m focused on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Adams may think he can run the country from his hometown, polls indicate that his own residents don\u2019t believe he is doing an adequate job running the city, let alone an entire nation.<\/p>\n<p>In early May, New York 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ny1.com\/nyc\/all-boroughs\/politics\/2022\/05\/04\/adams-honeymoon-may-be-over--new-poll-suggests\">reported<\/a> that Adams held a 43% approval rating and 37% disapproval rating amongst New Yorkers. \u201cBut that represented a downward trend from the last poll in February, when his job approval was 46-27,\u201d the media outlet added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe shift may be due to a persistent rise in crime, which about half of voters say is the most urgent issue facing the city,\u201d NY also speculated. \u201cAnd their confidence in Adams to stem the tide appears to be shrinking in the face of high-profile crimes like last month\u2019s subway shooting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The majority of New Yorkers appear to disapprove of how Adams is handling crime. According to NY 1, 37% approve of his job handling crime while 54% disapprove. In February, 49% approved, while 35% disapproved.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Chris Coffey, co-CEO of the political group Tusk Strategies, told the Post that Adams could have a shot at the highest office in the land if he gets crime under control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is one of the best known black elected officials in the country,\u201d Coffey said. \u201cThe play works if Adams makes progress on crime and the president decides not to run. I think he would be crazy not to consider it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York City Mayor Eric Adams has only been in office since January 1, 2022, but a new report indicates that the mayor of the Big Apple may already be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":326,"featured_media":1487065,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1487053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1487053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/326"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1487053"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1487053\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1487065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1487053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1487053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1487053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
