Adams refuses to leave NYC mayor race after reports of Trump job offer
New York City Mayor Eric Adams denied rumors Friday that he is dropping out of the city's mayoral race.
Why it matters: Adams had been the subject of numerous reports this week, which said he received job offers within the Trump administration in exchange for bowing out of the highly watched race.
Adams had previously denied the claims and said during a Friday afternoon press conference that some reports said, "I'm in Washington on Monday. Those reports are wrong. I'm not."
The New York City mayoral race has drawn national attention — including from President Trump — after New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani's stunning primary win in June.
