Now that Biden and his corrupt team have been jetissoned, the charges were dismissed Wednesday with prejudice, meaning they can’t be brought again.

Adams can now devote his full attention to his reelection campaign, which is exactly what he says he’s going to do—just not as a member of the Democrat party:

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced he will run his re-election campaign as an independent instead of participating in the Democratic primary.

Adams told Politico on Monday that he wants to “mount a real independent campaign,” saying that the federal bribery charges, which have been dismissed, “handcuffed him.” The New York City Mayor said he’d be “uninhibited” while campaigning.

“I’m in the race to the end. I’m not running on the Democratic line. It’s just not realistic to turn around my numbers and to run a good campaign (from) where we are right now,” Adams said. “It hurts like hell.”

It’s not a shock that Adams is distancing himself from the Democrats; over time he has been sounding more and more like a conservative on issues ranging from crime to illegal immigration. I’m not arguing that he is suddenly some hard-core GOP convert, I’m just noting that he is sounding a lot less extreme than most of the current Dem leadership in both New York and Washington D.C., who these days are coming off as to the left of Karl Marx.

“Look at bail reform — that’s Andrew,” Adams said. “He can’t say, ‘I’m going to save the city from the far left’ when he surrendered to the far left.”

Reflecting on the now-dismissed federal charges, Adams said that he has been held back.

“I have been this racehorse that has been held back,” Adams said. “This is so unnatural for me.”

Voters will make their will known in November. Until then, the NYC tabloids are going to have a field day.
