That "the party left me" line is wearing pretty thin, don't you think? If Nancy Mace would have to give up her House seat to run for governor, I'd be tempted to contribute to her campaign. At least it would confine her damage to SC, which gets what it deserves, and get her out of the [DC] Capitol.

The party is happy to leave a corrupt and rather incompetent incumbent who constantly flirts with the other party and is probably hoping for Donald Trump to bail him out, legally if not politically.

Not to mention he was never a Democrat at hear. Like Tulsi Gabbard and Rod Blagojevich, he only become a Democrat because of political necessity.

But he hasn't left the party yet? Other than the corruption charges, my biggest gripe with him is his kvetching over crime (from violent crimes down to fare evasion) without doing anything of note about it. 1990s Giuliani did do something about it, even if he focused on the superficial side (e.g. the "broken windows" theory). Did they weaken the mayor's powers since then or something?

Eric Adams is not Ronald Reagan. He flip-flopped on Stop and Frisk by being for it during the 2021 Mayoral Race while being staunchly against it and campaigning to end it for a long time before the race.

Adams is full of crap. He left the Democratic Party without even changing his voter registration. Going on Tucker Carlson isn't going to help Adams fight ongoing criminal investigation into potential bribery.
