CNN Quizzes NYC Mayoral Candidate Eric Adams On His Claim That Rivals Teamed Up Against Him Because He’s Black

CNN’s John Berman quizzed New York City mayoral candidate Eric Adams on Monday about his claim that two of his rivals, including Andrew Yang, formed an alliance against him to prevent a person of color from being elected mayor.

“For them to come together like they are doing in the last three days, they’re saying we can’t trust a person of color to be the mayor of the City of New York when this city is overwhelmingly people of color,” said Adams, who is black.
