Mayor Eric Adams kicks off campaign for reelection
The Brief Mayor Eric Adams sat down with Good Day New York to launch his independent campaign and share his vision for a second term. He slammed Zohran Mamdani as a "snake oil salesman" and warned against a third-party bid from Andrew Cuomo. Adams highlighted his track record on lowering crime, managing the migrant crisis and building a strong, loyal cabinet. NEW YORK - Mayor Eric Adams officially launched his reelection campaign Thursday morning during an appearance on Good Day New York, expressing confidence now that the Democratic primary is behind him. Adams, who is seeking a second term, is running as an independent after federal investigators dropped a corruption probe into his campaign. Embracing the outsider label, he's wasted no time going after his rivals. Mayor Eric Adams is set to make a formal campaign announcement Thursday, FOX 5 NY will stream it live on YouTube and in the player above. There are now five potential candidates in the race for New York City mayor. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo, once considered the front-runner, has conceded the Democratic primary but hasn't ruled out an independent bid. Here's what else Adams had to say about the race. Adams called his Independent campaign a chance to show voters what he has accomplished in his first term. He said the next phase of the race allows him to "get on the ground and talk to voters" without being tied to a political machine. He touted his record on managing the city's migrant housing crisis and credited his administration with bringing down crime. "I delivered for this city and we are not going backwards," he said. "I'm perfectly imperfect," Adams said, framing himself as a relatable leader. "Which 65-year-old you know hasn't made mistakes?" Most recently, Adams has leaned into his online presence as a tool to connect with voters. In a recent post, he shared a day-in-the-life video from his kitchen, speaking about his faith and purpose. "If God needs for me to continue to be the mayor, I'mma do the work," he said. The video blends spirituality with determination, reinforcing the image of a mayor who sees his role as part of a larger mission. When asked if he would keep NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch if reelected, Adams responded, "Of course," and went on to name other members of his inner circle, including Chief of Staff Camille Joseph Varlack and Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol. He added that he is always looking for "new talent" to strengthen his team. After calling Zohran Mamdani "a snake oil salesman" and claiming "he would say and do anything to get elected" in an interview on Fox & Friends, Adams accused the candidate of making promises he couldn't keep. "He's selling things to people that are struggling," Adams told Good Day. He criticized the assemblyman for campaigning on raising income taxes on the top 1 percent, arguing that Mamdani had the power to act on that issue in Albany but failed to do so. Asked whether he would accept help from former President Donald Trump, Adams replied, "I'm looking for help from all New Yorkers. I'm willing to take help from wherever it comes from." Adams confirmed he will run as an independent after federal prosecutors dropped a corruption investigation into his 2021 campaign. He also took a swipe at Cuomo, who is still weighing a third-party or independent bid. When asked if he would consider running on both the Democratic and Republican lines, Adams said it was an "opportunity" but acknowledged it was too late to run as a Republican this year. "It doesn't matter what you run on," he said. A spokesperson for Cuomo confirmed the former governor is still considering his options. Adams said the city needs leadership that is not beholden to either political extreme. In one of the biggest political upsets New York City has seen in decades, state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani has declared victory in the Democratic primary for mayor: a result that could reshape the general election this fall.

G-DRAGON's team denies dating rumours with TWICE's Sana, sparking fan backlash: 'Nobody even thought about it'
BIGBANG's G-DRAGON and TWICE's Sana have recently found themselves at the center of unexpected dating rumours — and fans aren't taking it lightly. The speculation started after a teaser was released for Sana's variety show "Dex and Sana's Fridge Interview", revealing G-DRAGON as an upcoming guest. But what truly stunned fans was not the rumour itself — as such talks keep happening in the K-pop world — but G-DRAGON's agency's decision to issue a clarification — for something many say didn't even exist. Where did the rumour come from? On May 30, a teaser trailer for Fridge Interview was dropped, titled "G-DRAGON Came to Hang Out with Two Girls," showing the Bang Bang Bang singer joining Dex and Sana. The playful title and the rare appearance of G-DRAGON on variety TV led to increased chatter online, though nothing substantial pointed to any romantic involvement. However, things took a strange turn when G-DRAGON's agency released a formal statement denying any dating relationship between him and Sana — a move that left many scratching their heads. Agency denies dating speculation G-DRAGON's team clarified that he agreed to film the show out of friendship with Dex, not because of Sana. They added that Sana's participation was confirmed only a day before the filming, and emphasized that there were no romantic feelings between the two stars. "G-DRAGON filmed Dex and Sana's Fridge Interview on April 14, the day after the final broadcast of MBC's Good Day. On April 22, TWICE performed as a special guest at Coldplay's concert in Korea." G-DRAGON's side denies dating rumors with TWICE's Sana:— 'Hello, this is Galaxy would like to correct the misunderstandings regarding rumors of G-Dragon's romantic relationships that have recently been spreading online.G-Dragon filmed Dex and Sana's Fridge… "The reason he didn't address the dating rumour earlier was because he believed doing so would spoil his surprise appearance on the show." Fans question the need to address the rumour The statement, instead of clarifying things, left fans more confused. Many TWICE fans, known as ONCE, expressed disbelief that the dating rumour was even a thing — and questioned the agency's decision to issue a statement. One wrote, "Like this if you never heard such a thing." like this if you never heard such a thing Another said, "'Arranged the day before that Sana will appear as well'? So we're just lying now? It's literally her show. Extremely unprofessional for his team to change the narrative." 'arranged the day before that Sana will appear as well' so we're just lying now? 😭 it's literally her season of the show and it's extremely unprofessional that his staff is changing the narrative One commented, "STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!! Why does this man always insert himself into women's business? This isn't the first time." (This came as a reference to his still-undeclared dating rumour with BLACKPINK's Jennie.) STAY THE FVKK AWAYYY FROM HER!!!! Why do this man always inserting hiss ass in other women's businesses.. this happens a lot mind you.. it's not the first time Another wrote, "Girl, literally nobody is assuming that." girl literally nobody is assuming that? One added, "Literally nobody thought they were dating lol." Literally nobody thought they were dating lol This fan pointed to the irony: "There were over 9 million views and viral tweets about Kentaro Sakaguchi and Sana looking like a couple — and still no agency statement. But now we get one for a rumour no one even believed? Make it make sense." over 9 million views, 116k likes saying they look like a couple, viral tweets abt them left and right but his company didn't think a statement was necessary. meanwhile that guy had the audacity to drop a statement over a dating rumor he started that no one gaf about to begin with More about TWICE's Sana and G-DRAGON Sana is currently gearing up for TWICE's upcoming comeback with their album This Is For, scheduled for release on July 11, 2025.
