Should Eric Adams Resign? 

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted on Wednesday and faces five charges, including accepting $10 million in bribes and improper campaign donations. 

From the Left: Voices on the left, including Andrew Yang (Lean Left bias), Catherine Rampell of the Washington Post (Lean Left), and the New York Times Editorial Board (Left) said that Eric Adams should resign. Rampell focused on Adams' repeated gaffes, asking whether he is the best NYC has to offer. The Times' Editorial Board said, "The work of those prosecutors and investigators, who included the F.B.I. and the city’s Department of Investigation, is the only good news to come out of this sordid day in New York City history. [They] showed that the mayor is not above the law."

From the Right: Voices on the right, including the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board (Lean Right) and the New York Post Editorial Board (Right), argued that Adams should not resign. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board argued that Adams "deserves the presumption of innocence like any other American citizen." The Post Editorial Board said, "The argument of the resignation crowd is that he is so distracted that he cannot possibly lead and that his administration is in chaos with multiple staff either quitting or fleeing for the exits. But the alternative is a recipe for similar chaos. The vultures already circling will lead Gotham to disaster, beginning with the man who would temporarily take over if Adams were to step down or be removed."
