Eric Adams now loves going on Fox News

[RandySF]

As the mayor of New York City, Eric Adams has never been a stranger to the media. He has been on MSNBC 25 times, CNN 24 times and Fox News/Fox Business 10 times since the start of 2022. But lately, the mix of where he’s showing up on TV has changed. He has become a frequent guest on Fox News and Fox Business, making seven appearances on the networks this year. And as the mayor becomes a constant presence on the right-wing outlets, his appearances on the left-wing cable news network MSNBC have dwindled to just two this year. It’s a swift turn for the Democratic mayor who just two years ago appeared 13 times on MSNBC, with no appearances on Fox. By comparison, his appearances on CNN have remained relatively steady over the past four years.

Almost all of Adams’ appearances on Fox networks so far this year have come since he announced he would run for reelection as an independent candidate on April 3, one day after a federal judge dropped his corruption case.

In order to win reelection in November, Adams needs to not only defeat the Democratic nominee, Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, but also Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and independent candidates former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Jim Walden. In the crowded field, Adams needs to build a new coalition that could include moderate Democrats as well as Republican voters at its core, which could make Fox a helpful place to broadcast his campaign message. About 57% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said earlier this year that they regularly get their news from Fox News.

Recent polling has reflected that Adams is performing best among Republicans. In a Slingshot Strategies poll of registered New York City voters from July 2-6, 26% of Republicans said they’d support Adams if the election were held today. He didn’t crack 20% support with any other group. And in a July 1-6 Data for Progress poll of likely voters, Adams’ favorability among Republicans was 60%, which was his highest mark with any group by nearly 30 points.

1. Adams has been a terrible mayor

As a Democrat, I’m disgusted that I voted for him.

His term has revealed a weak, small-minded and corrupt official with an ignorance of the city he leads.

Between Adams and Cuomo, NYers are being offered some real losers. Mamdani looks better and better.
