Gov. Kathy Hochul will not remove embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams from office, saying his fate should be left to the voters to decide at the ballot box.

Hochul, a Democrat, announced Thursday that she will not invoke her authority under state and city law to force Adams out at this time, confirming what sources familiar with her decision told Gothamist earlier in the day.

At a news conference in her Midtown office, Hochul said unilaterally removing Adams would fly in the face of democratic principles, even as she continued to express concern over the Trump administration’s push to dismiss the mayor’s criminal charges while leaning on him for cooperation with the Republican president’s immigration crackdown.
