Could the Republican Party be gaining a new member?
During two separate radio interviews on Friday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams danced around the issue of whether he might switch party affiliation.
When asked during an appearance on NY1 whether he would consider joining the GOP, Adams said only, “I’m a part of the American party. I love this country.”

Adams was asked to clarify his comments in a subsequent interview on PIX11, the big-city mayor again left open the question about his future political affiliation.
“No matter what party I’m on or vote on, I’m going to push for American values,” he said, arguing that officials need to move beyond parties altogether and work in concert to solve voters’ problems.
This wouldn’t be the first time Adams has switched parties; Politico reported that Adams “was a member of the GOP from 1995 through 2002.”
The NYC mayor is scheduled to meet with border czar nominee Tom Homan next week on the Trump administration’s deportation plans.
“Adams has said he would support any federal plan that focuses on those undocumented immigrants who have committed serious crimes,” Politico reported.
Critics have accused the Democrat mayor of intentionally getting closer up to Trump.
Last month, The View co-hosts suggested the Mayor’s newfound relationship with Trump is driven by a plan to ask for a presidential pardon if convicted on federal charges of bribery and campaign finance offenses.
