Adams Campaign Denies Reports He'd Take a Job With Trump, Drop Out of Mayoral Race

Mayor Eric Adams’s campaign on Wednesday denied reports he would take a job in President Donald Trump’s administration as a way of dropping out of his re-election bid, which is facing tepid poll numbers.

“Mayor Adams has not met with Donald Trump — don’t believe the noise,” campaign spokesperson Todd Shapiro said. “He is not dropping out of the race.”

But the president may still be looking for gigs for both Adams and Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate, according to the New York Times, the New York Post and Politico. Adams was offered a job at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Politico reported, after meeting with members of Trump’s team during a sudden trip to Florida on Monday.

Shapiro denied this. “Although Mayor Adams has been the most pro-housing mayor in New York City’s history, at no time did he ask for—nor was he offered—a job at HUD,” he said.

1. Early in 2025, Homan got Adams cooperation on ICE by bribing him with dropped charges

Then Tom "Bullneck" Homan reinforced on a Fox News couch live when Homan told him he'd "be up his ass" if he didn't cooperate.

2. Shapiro made non-denial denial

A) "Did not ask for" ... okay

B) "Was not offered a job" ... well ... But maybe there were discussions like "Should we talk about a job that maybe we could create? A job for somebody we won't name just yet."
