Marisa Kabas: There’s a real opportunity for Democrats to win control of all three branches of government in 2024. Which is precisely leadership like Adams' feels like such a threat.
“Our cities are being undermined,” Adams said to press in El Paso, Texas. “And we don’t deserve this. Migrants don’t deserve this. And the people who live in the cities don’t deserve this. We expect more from our national leaders to address this issue in a real way.”Now is a precarious time for New York Democrats: Because of both redistricting and poor campaigning, the party lost an astonishing number of congressional seats — including one to Republican George Santos,.

There was deep skepticism among local Democrats when Adams took office, having won less than 31% in the first round of ranked choice voting and ultimately beating out a crowded field. But too many progressives canceled one another out, and Adams’ more centrist gambit paid off.
It wouldn’t be shocking if Adams had ambitions for higher office, despite the fact that the job he has is a historic dead end.as mayor in January 2022, Adams said: “When a mayor has swagger, the city has swagger. We’ve allowed people to beat us down so much that all we did was wallow in Covid. We no longer believed this is a city of swagger. This is a city of resiliency.
It wouldn’t be shocking if Adams had ambitions for higher office, despite the fact that the job he has is a historic dead end.

So New Yorkers are stuck dealing with Adams in the present, while he makes things more difficult for his party’s future.
