Yet Another New York Mayor Wants to be the President of the United States.

Just Say No, Your Honor.

Comes word New York City’s new mayor Eric Adams is already hankering for a better job. The New York Post reports an “insider” tells them: “Eric has told me repeatedly that he thinks that he has a platform to run for national office, for president in 2024. He has said that repeatedly.”

Mayor Adams might want to crack the history books. Four, count ’em, four of his predecessors, in reverse order, de Blasio, Bloomberg, Giuliani and Lindsay had a go at the presidency and the campaigns of every one of them were dismal failures. Americans apparently don’t want New York mayors in the White House.

Adams, from this great distance at least, has achieved zero significant accomplishments, and while accomplishing nothing hardly precludes a presidential run, e.g., de Blasio, Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden, it is your Tatler’s belief the majority of our populace these days is wary buying another political pig in a poke.

Stick to running the City, Your Honor. There are myriad problems enough to keep you plenty occupied the next four years.
