Eric Adams says he’s the new ‘face of the Democratic Party’

Saying, “America is failing in running cities,” leading New York mayoral contender Eric Adams on Thursday declared himself the new “face of the Democratic Party” and said adopting his anti-crime agenda was the only way for his party to turn its fortunes nationwide.

During his first public remarks since Tuesday — when he topped the field following the first round of ranked-choice primary voting — the Brooklyn borough president and former NYPD captain also predicted that he’s “going to impact national politics” by increasing public safety and turning around the Big Apple. “I am the face of the Democratic Party,” Adams said outside Brooklyn Borough Hall.
