What power does Governor Kathy Hochul have regarding Mayor Eric Adams' corruption case?
Governor Kathy Hochul has the constitutional authority to remove Mayor Eric Adams from office. As revealed in the discussion between the news anchor and CBS News political reporter Katrina Kaufman, this power represents a significant option available to the Governor amid the Justice Department's move to drop corruption charges against Adams. While Hochul is actively meeting with Manhattan leaders, including Adams supporters, she must carefully consider the political implications of such an action, particularly given that both she and Adams belong to the same political party. This executive power highlights the complex interplay between state and city governance in New York's political landscape.
