Their paths to NYPD's downtown Manhattan headquarters on Thursday could hardly have been more different, but President Biden and NYC Mayor Eric Adams are now increasingly bound as the Democratic Party tries to plot a course ahead of the midterm elections
Their paths to the New York Police Department's downtown Manhattan headquarters on Thursday could hardly have been more different, but President Joe Biden and New York City Mayor Eric Adams are now -- by their choosing and at their own political risk -- increasingly bound as the Democratic Party tries to plot a course ahead of this year's midterm elections amid a pandemic-era spike in violent crime.
At One Police Plaza, Biden, flanked by Adams at the main dais, publicly rolled out a series of new policies, plumped for proposals designed to crack down on gun violence, like breaking the"Iron Pipeline" that delivers illegal guns to the city from more permissive states down Interstate 95, and called for more money to be routed to local law enforcement around the country.
