Four deputy mayors’ resignations prompted Gov. Kathy Hochul to reconsider removing Mayor Adams from office, but she elected to wait.

It’s the second time in a year that Antonio Delgado has bucked Kathy Hochul on a public demand for a fellow Democrat to step down.

A legion of high-profile figures in New York politics have expressed doubt that Adams can continue as mayor or outright called for him to resign, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Hochul’s own Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado and New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.
