Adams and Mayor-elect Mamdani clash as new executive orders spark tension

Tension between Mayor Eric Adams and Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani continues to build, even after their sit-down at Gracie Mansion.

As the incoming mayor pushes plans to freeze rents and end homeless encampment sweeps, both leaders appear to be charting sharply different paths for the city. FOX 5 NY’s Robert Moses reports.
