Eric Adams praises Kathy Hochul as right person for the moment

Democratic mayoral nominee Eric Adams praised Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul as a “professional” who will lead the state with a “steady hand” after Andrew Cuomo leaves office in the wake of multiple scandals.

“She’s a professional,” Adams told reporters Wednesday after an event at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn. “A steady hand is what we need right now when you turn over the state to an individual, you need someone with a steady hand. She has a steady hand, and I believe that she’s going to be able to navigate the challenges that we’re having and then voters will decide what’s going to happen in the future,” Adams said.
