Mayor Eric Adams may be facing a new challenger in next year’s mayoral primary, this time from his home borough of Brooklyn. This week, State Sen. Zellnor Myrie announced he is exploring a bid for mayor in 2025. Myrie is the second potential Democratic challenger Mayor Adams could face, as former city comptroller Scott Stringer also launched an exploratory committee earlier this year. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena discuss whether Myrie is a viable candidate and if he will run as a progressive.
After that, NYPD top brass has been using social media to criticize opponents, protesters at college universities and City Council members. Now, those social posts are the subject of an inquiry by the city Department of Investigation, at the request of the Legal Aid Society and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams. The “Off Topic” team looks at the probe and talk about whether the NYPD is in fact improperly using official social media accounts.
