Description:

Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday he's skipping the June Democratic primary and instead running for reelection as an independent candidate. In a campaign video, Adams said his legal troubles had prevented him from mounting a legitimate Democratic primary campaign. The announcement comes a day after a Manhattan judge dismissed the federal corruption case against the mayor. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and political director Bob Hardt break down a very eventful week in the race for mayor.

After that, the “Off Topic” team begins its weekly series of profiles on Democratic mayoral primary candidates. The first installment looks at Whitney Tilson, focusing on his background, campaign positions on crime, housing and education, and his political strategy.
