Mayor Eric Adams on reimagining New York City post-COVID, ghosts in Gracie Mansion, NYPD budget and more

The Point: One-on-one with Mayor Eric Adams

Mayor Eric Adams is many things: a blue-collar mayor trying to keep the city afloat, a technology geek and a New Yorker with plenty of swagger. 

This week, "The Point with Marcia Kramer" went on a field trip to Gracie Mansion to speak with the mayor one-on-one. 

Talking Points

Adams announced a new budget that preaches fiscal austerity on one hand and generosity to city workers on the other. But, yes, the City Council has different priorities. 

He discusses what needs to change for New York City to be successful post-COVID, why he's challenging City Council members intent on defunding the NYPD and more.
