WORLD WORLDWIDE US USA - New York NY - New York City NYC - THE CITY SCOOP - Eric Adams launches his re-election campaign.
FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 2025
Dear New Yorkers,
A defiant Mayor Eric Adams officially launched his independent re-election bid Thursday, joined by more than a hundred supporters in front of City Hall — including some of the people previously embroiled in investigations of his administration and inner circle.
At the campaign launch (during office hours), the incumbent recounted his oft-told story of struggle, overcoming poverty and dyslexia as a child, and getting beat up by cops.
He presented a contrast between himself and the presumed Democratic nominee, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani of Queens.
“This election is a choice between real progress and empty promises,” Adams said.
Meanwhile, business leaders must, too, make a choice in November: Build bridges to a candidate they bitterly opposed as too far left or get behind Adams' bid — and so far, all signs point to Adams.
Cloudy with a chance of showers, and — not to jinx it — a beautiful, temperate high of 70.

The collapse of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s campaign for City Hall did not come cheap. Between the $5.5 million his campaign spent and the $26 million that came from generously funded independent expenditure committees that supported him (or attacked his chief rival, Zohran Mamdani) his losing effort came to $87 per vote.
Spurred by Cuomo’s resounding defeat, several women drawn into a legal battle with Cuomo called on state lawmakers to pass tougher protections for people who come forward with reports of sexual harassment — and to curb taxpayer spending on Cuomo’s defense.
New York congressional Democrats are far from unified about what should happen next now that Mamdani has beaten Cuomo in the mayoral primary.
Linda Sun, a former aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul, allegedly steered contracts for Covid protective gear to a firm co-owned by her husband, and one that belongs to her second cousin.
The long-delayed One45 housing development in Harlem has scored a key City Council clearance after years of controversy and community pushback.
Why does it feel like all the recent power outages have been in Brooklyn and Queens — and hardly any in Manhattan? We answer this great reader question in this week’s Summer & the City newsletter. Sign up for it here!

How Should I Pay? Keep These Tips In Mind to Avoid Scams
Credit cards, debit cards, cash, checks, wires or sending money to others using a P2P (person-to-person) payment app are examples of the many ways consumers can pay for everyday transactions. To help protect their money from scammers, it’s important for people to understand that how they pay matters, especially when buying something from someone they don’t know or trust. Here are examples of common scams impacting payment types:
Checks: Never make checks out to “cash.” Use permanent ink, and write the amount in numbers and words. Don’t leave a check book unattended and always send a check directly from the post office or through secured mailboxes; don’t leave them for pickup in your mailbox at home. When possible, opt for electronic payment methods instead of checks.
P2P: If you are purchasing goods or merchandise, including things like concert tickets, a credit or debit card that offers purchase protection may be a better option. If at any time you feel pressured, the deal seems too good to be true, or you otherwise suspect it’s a scam, don’t proceed with the purchase.
Credit and debit cards: Two-factor authentication can help block anyone who gets your banking information from using it, and setting up credit monitoring helps you know if your card is used fraudulently. If you misplace it or think it is lost or stolen, contact your bank immediately, and lock your card from additional charges.
Wire transfers: Never provide your bank account details to unfamiliar or suspicious individuals and avoid wiring money to people or businesses you are unfamiliar with, especially if prompted by suspicious phone calls or emails.
