It's been a wild ride, but I've finally seen enough: Eric Adams (D) is the apparent winner of the NYC Democratic mayoral primary, defeating Kathryn Garcia (D).

With AP tonight calling the NYC Democratic mayoral primary for Eric Adams, I’m reposting my @bopinion column on Adams owing his victory to Democratic Party’s “conservative” base — Black voters: What Eric Adams Shares With Joe Biden https://t.co/awGoPvoDrD

This was the largest crime ever committed in the US. But for DT, Jan 6th would not have happened. This was entirely predictable.

No, he isn’t perfect. Far from it. But Eric Adams is (A) not an anti-cop, anti-anti-crime loon and (B) proof, yet again, that working-class people of color don’t like de-policing and other nutty boutique priorities of the gentry left.
