Eric Adams

9. All jokes aside, and not being facetious, which I am prone to be (even when I shouldn't be)

I think it's too soon to tell how he will govern. He's only been in office for what? 4 days? Give it some time.

Politicians say a lot of stuff prior to getting elected but the true measure is how they actually govern.

I understand that much of the time the only thing voters have prior to an election is what a candidate says but what they say often meets the reality of holding office and the nitty-gritty of day-to-day duties, not to mention the push back (or support) of various community activists and leaders.

An authoritarian wouldn't listen to those around them, but I think Adams will. An authoritarian would also ignore the realities of actually holding the office - exampled by Trump - and blow off the day-to-day duties in favor of a my-way or the highway approach - again, example - Trump.

I don't think Adams will ignore his duty.

That said, the voters liked what they heard, and Adams was elected.

I wish him and New York City the very best.
