Talking Points: Scott Stringer on why he wants another shot to run for mayor 18:49

Eric Adams just passed the halfway mark in his term as mayor. He's got two years to go, but already people are seeking to topple him. 

Scott Stringer is a familiar face in New York politics - state lawmaker, Manhattan borough president, city comptroller, and a man who lost the mayor's race to Adams. Now, he wants to try again. 

So what possibly is in his mind? 

"Look, I love this city and I love public service, and I think this city needs a new direction. We are not well served by this administration," he told CBS New York's Political Reporter Marcia Kramer. "If I have a chance to move this city forward, to invest in education, to invest in housing, to invest in the issues that people - we - feel strongly about, then it's a campaign worth waging."
