An escalating war of words between Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas reached new heights today when the mayor threatened to campaign against the governor this fall.
That lead Adams to make this political threat against the governor who is up for re-election in November.
“I already called all of my friends in Texas, and told them how to on cast their vote,” the mayor said Tuesday. “And I am deeply contemplating taking a busload of New Yorkers to go to Texas and do some good old-fashioned door knocking. For the good of America, we need to get him out of office.”“Because of the high taxes and out of control crime, people are already volunteering to leave New York City without the Mayor asking,” Abbott’s campaign spokesperson Mark Miner said.
Abbott is running for this November for a third term against former Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who also unsuccessfully ran for president in 2020.
