The Spin

This is a spectacular fall from grace for the mayor of Americathe US's largest city. While the law does not require himAdams to step down if indicted, the mere presence of constant investigations and poor publicity will damage his administration's ability to govern the city. For the sake of all New Yorkers, Eric Adams should remove himself from office.

While this indictment, if proven, would be shocking, America operates on the notion of presumption of innocence. Adams is owed that much, at least, and we should be careful before jumping to conclusions.
