Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called for New York City Mayor Eric Adams to resign amid ongoing federal corruption investigations involving his administration and inner circle. Ocasio-Cortez, the most prominent Democrat to make such a demand, cited the flood of resignations and vacancies threatening government function as key reasons for her call. She emphasized that nonstop investigations and scandals would make it impossible to recruit and retain a qualified administration, and stated that Adams should resign 'for the good of the city.'
