How It All Went Flawed for Eric Adams

On a soggy January day, New York Mayor Eric Adams travels to a theater within the Bronx to ship his State of the Metropolis handle. As dignitaries and the odd reporter take their seats, an Afro-Latino jazz band jams onstage, adopted by a flamenco dance firm, a gospel choir, and a gamut of non secular leaders-Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Sikh. "O Lord, in obedience together with your holy phrase, we intercede on behalf of our mayor," a Latina evangelical minister says, setting the temper. "Bless him with braveness such as you gave David, knowledge such as you gave Solomon."
