New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ days seem to be numbered as he faces mounting pressure – from New Yorkers and beyond – to resign. The embattled mayor had faced charges related to bribery, campaign finance violations, and conspiracy offenses - until that is, the Trump DOJ stopped the charges against Adams just two months before his trial, in return for the mayor’s support for the administration’s immigration policies.

Adams has denied the charges and stated that he will serve his full term, despite the national outrage, but one man is ready to step up if needed: New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams – the first in line to succeed Adams and become acting mayor.
