I think Hochul thinks this: instead of setting off the chaos that forcing him out will produce (he gets to fight it, then his replacement will be Jumaane Williams to finish his term, then the election).
I think Hochul knows it's easier to just have Adams completely swept out via the Nov. election.
He spent a lot of his own money during the pandemic to get masks out to the public and PPE to healthcare workers. Among many other charitable endeavors. A billionaire who seems to have a conscience and empathy. Imagine that.
yeah - just that I don't think this group wants to ensure that they mayor is Black, they want to ensure that the mayor is Adams are are willing to try to defend him by claiming the attacks against him are racist.
Would it work? I have no idea, but given that Trump and the entire right-wing media would amplify it to high heaven, I think it would be a sharp attack against Hochul, and she's not getting the backing she'd need to stand up to it from, e.g. Hakeem Jeffries or Carl Heastie.

In the military commanders make justice decisions not only about the case at hand but about effect the action will have on everyone else.
This would send a clear signal to Trump et al about federal interference.
But the lack of legal action towards other high-ranking politicians for the last five years says otherwise...

adams is a deadly threat to new yorkers right now.
The Democratic Party is MIA and DOA when we need them most. We need our young stars to SHINE, not wait in line!
This is the fight, I think, that Hochul hid from
See comment about her being a coward, above. If she can't turn that around and win... well....
