What are the potential outcomes for Mayor Eric Adams amid the corruption charges in New York City?

Mayor Adams faces multiple removal threats as he maintains he's not stepping down. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has the authority to remove him if she chooses, while the city's comptroller has threatened to convene an 'inability committee' to initiate a removal process unless Adams can present a viable plan for governing effectively. The comptroller's ultimatum requires Adams to demonstrate how he can continue to functionally run New York City amid what was described as 'absolute mayhem' in recent times. These political challenges unfold as Adams awaits court proceedings, where immediate rulings from the bench are considered unlikely.
