New York City Mayor Eric Adams talks about being a Democrat in the past tense in a preview clip for an interview with Tucker Carlson that will be posted in full Tuesday night.

Mayor Eric Adams said the Democratic Party has abandoned him – and everyday New Yorkers. “People often say, ‘Well, you know, you don’t sound like a Democrat and you seem to have left the party,’” Adams told host Tucker Carlson during an interview due to air Tuesday night.

Eric Adams revealed to podcast host Tucker Carlson that aides to former President Joe Biden told the New York mayor that he should just “be a good Democrat” over concerns about how illegal immigration was affecting the city.
