Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, one of the state's most powerful Democrats, joined dozens of lawmakers Saturday calling for New York City Mayor Eric Adams to resign as he battles corruption charges and allegations of close ties to President Donald Trump.
Stewart-Cousins, as first reported by The New York Post, said the charges against the mayor have become a distraction for city and state officials to govern properly.
