What challenges is New York City Mayor Eric Adams currently facing?

Mayor Eric Adams faces mounting uncertainty with four deputy mayors resigning amid corruption investigations. The Justice Department's dismissal of charges against Adams has led to allegations of a quid pro quo between the Democratic mayor and Republican administration over immigration enforcement. This situation has prompted concern from New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who called the reported conduct at City Hall 'troubling and cannot be ignored.' While there is a charter provision allowing the governor to remove a mayor, Hochul emphasized that 'overturning the will of the voters is a serious step' and has called key leaders to discuss a path forward.
