Eric Adams meets with Zohran Mamdani for first time as former rival set to take reins


Mayor Eric Adams is meeting with his replacement, far-left pol Zohran Mamdani, on Tuesday afternoon — the first sit-down between the two rivals as New York City prepares for a change in leadership.

Adams was scheduled to welcome the mayor-elect at Gracie Mansion, where the sitting mayor would hand over his transitional document to create a seamless shift in power.

“I am meeting the mayor-elect today at noon, and we are going to turn over a document of our transition,” Adams said at an unrelated press conference Tuesday morning.

Adams told reporters he would make the case to the new Big Apple leader about what initiatives have worked over the last few years to keep them alive.

“What I must do is show what I have accomplished,” Adams said.

Calls to Mamdani’s transition team were not returned immediately.
