U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has urged New York City Mayor Eric Adams to step down amidst intensifying federal criminal probes and a series of high-profile departures within his administration. Ocasio-Cortez expressed concerns over the mayor's ability to effectively govern the city, citing a wave of resignations and ongoing investigations that could hinder the recruitment of qualified officials.
Mayor Adams, a Democrat, swiftly dismissed Ocasio-Cortez's call for resignation, labeling it as hypocritical and based on mere rumors and innuendo. He emphasized his commitment to leading the city and fighting against what he perceives as political attacks.
