New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Friday he plans to run for Democrats.
Adams joined Fox & Friends with border tsar Tom Homan to discuss their plans to work together on immigration enforcement.
At the end of the conversation, the focus shifted to Adams’ political future, as the mayor said he was the goal of the Biden administration to curb illegal immigration, leading to speculation that he could change the party.
“You’re going to make a decision,” said co-host Brian Kilmeade. “So, Mr. Mayor, yes. Are you going to run for re-election?”

“Yes,” Adams replied, Kilmead asked, “Are you consider running for Republicans?”
“I’m going to run into democracy,” Adams said. “Run as a Democrat.”
Adams said there are many “Democrats” who believe what he did to Ice.
“I think we have to get people to vote. That’s the problem,” Adams said.
Kilmeade then pointed out that former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo “want to be Mayor Cuomo” is currently joining Adams in the polls.
“I had another Andrew in the last game, who beat me in double digits in February, but we don’t call Mayor Andrew Young,” Adams said.
“We call Mayor Eric Adams’,” he continued. “Never give up. New Yorkers will never give up.”

Earlier this week, Fox News Digital first reported that the Justice Department would dismiss federal charges against Adams.
Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove unanimously wrote to the acting U.S. Attorney (SDNY) in the southern region of New York, directing SDNY to revoke the federal case against Adams and dismiss it without bias.
Adams was indicted in September, including bribery, soliciting donations from foreign nationals, telegraph fraud and conspiracy. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Fox News received a memorandum among acting U.S. attorneys in the southern region of New York, titled “No Prejudice Mayor Eric Adams.”
The memorandum cites President Donald Trump’s executive order to combat the weaponization of law enforcement and federal immigration policies.
