Governor Kathy Hochul has answered the toughest question in New York politics — she will not remove Mayor Eric Adams from office. “My strong belief is that the will of the voters and the supremacy and sanctity of democratic elections preclude me from any other action,” she said.

Demonstrators gathered in New York City on Saturday, insisting Gov. Kathy Hochul remove Mayor Eric Adams from office rather than simply limit his power.

Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York announced that she will not remove Mayor Eric Adams at this time but will seek to increase state supervision of New York City’s affairs.
