NYC Mayor Eric Adams Responds To Reports Trump Administration Offered Him Job To Abandon Re-Election Campaign
New York City Mayor Eric Adams denied reports he received an offer in the Trump administration to abandon his re-election campaign.
POLITICO reported earlier this week that the Trump administration offered Adams a position at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The New York Times said the administration discussed the possibility of finding positions for Adams and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.
Trump Administration Allegedly Offers Position To New York City Mayoral Candidate
“Mayor Adams has made it clear that he will not respond to every rumor that comes up,” a spokesperson for Adams told The Guardian.
“He has had no discussions with, nor has he met with, President Donald Trump regarding the mayoral race. The mayor is fully committed to winning this election, with millions of New Yorkers preparing to cast their votes," the spokesperson added.
Two reports Wednesday said President Trump’s team is trying to find Mayor Adams a job if he bows out of the race. Adams is denying the stories.

More from The Guardian:
Sliwa told Politico he had not spoken to the White House and would not want a job anyway.
“I have not been contacted by the White House, and I’m not interested in a job with the White House,” he said in a statement.
“My focus is right here in New York. I’m the only candidate on a major party line who can defeat Mamdani, and I’m committed to carrying this fight through to election day. The people of New York City deserve a mayor who truly cares.”
Mamdani, meanwhile, has been keen to underline his rivals’ associations with Trump, who is deeply unpopular in true-blue New York City.
“Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field,” he wrote on X. “New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.”
On Tuesday a poll found Adams with 9% of the vote in the election – Mamdani was at 42%, Cuomo 26% and Sliwa 17%.
"When Trump, Cuomo and Adams scheme behind closed doors, they're not worried about your future or the city you're struggling to afford. It's only about their own power," Mamdani said.

Other reports suggest Adams is privately discussing the possibility of dropping out of the race.
The New York Times explained:
Facing a swirl of questions about a potential job in the Trump administration, Mayor Eric Adams of New York City stood outside City Hall on Thursday and suggested he was not going anywhere.
But in private, Mr. Adams has told a small group of friends and advisers that he is seriously considering job opportunities that could prompt him to suspend his re-election campaign, according to people familiar with the conversations.
The talks about Mr. Adams’s future have involved intermediaries for President Trump, including Steve Witkoff, a New York real estate investor who is one of Mr. Trump’s closest advisers. The mayor and Mr. Witkoff conferred in Florida this week in a previously undisclosed meeting, according to four people briefed on it.
The meeting was a closely guarded secret. City Hall said at first that the mayor was attending to a “personal matter”; Mr. Adams’s campaign spokesman then asserted the mayor was in Miami to celebrate his 65th birthday. Pressed later, Mr. Adams said only that he was meeting with “political figures,” including the mayor of Miami.
What exactly the two men discussed was not immediately clear, including whether Mr. Adams had been offered a position or would accept one. Even people close to Mr. Adams acknowledged it can be difficult to predict what he might do.
But several of the people, who insisted on anonymity, said that the job discussions have accelerated as the mayor’s chances of winning a second term have faded. He has faced a cloud of corruption scandals and sagging poll numbers, driven in part by the Trump administration’s February move to abandon a corruption case against Mr. Adams so he could help implement its immigration agenda.
