New York City Mayor Eric Adams raised eyebrows earlier this week when he announced he would attend President Donald Trump's inauguration just hours before the ceremony took place in Washington D.C. The decision to appear in the event was the latest indication that the two politicians, despite being part of different parties, are cozying up and could form an unlikely alliance over the next few years.
The controversial mayor has made headlines since Trump declared victory in the November elections for criticizing the Biden administration, threatening to end his city's sanctuary status for migrants and even meeting with the now President at Mar-a-Lago.
