A couple of days ago, The lead prosecutor in New York City tossed out the Eric Adams corruption case. Adams was charged with Fraud, bribery, and soliciting illegal campaign funds.   According to CNN, Judge Dale Ho stated that he dropped the case because the Justice Department told him to do so, even though he had misgivings about dropping the case.  Yesterday, when the case was dropped, Adams announced that he would run for reelection as an independent and bypass the democratic primary. According to a report in the New York Times, Adams felt that running as an independent would give him more time to prepare for the general election. It is unclear what will happen next, but he is a long shot for re-election despite his legal issues being resolved.
