Former police captain Eric Adams cruised to victory and will be the next mayor of New York City. Voters across the U.S. picked new city leaders from candidates who were largely defined by their stances on police and crime.
Adams, who will become the second Black mayor of the nation’s largest city, first triumphed this summer in a crowded Democratic primary after he struck a nuanced stance on law enforcement issues.
His message on crime and his experience as a police officer largely insulated him from attacks from his Republican opponent Curtis Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels anti-crime patrol.
