While Adams asserts he will\u2064 not resign, the legal troubles may \u2063hinder \u2064his\u200d political future. Reports\u2063 suggest that Cuomo had intentions to return\u2062 to \u200dpolitics\u200d even before Adams&#8217;s indictment, and now he is\u2062 poised to capitalize on the situation. Despite\u2064 this, Cuomo maintains that \u2062he has &#8220;no plans to make plans,&#8221; echoing his previous statements\u200b about running for office. Although Cuomo and Adams are friends, previous reports indicated that Cuomo would not run for mayor if Adams was in the race.
