New York City's Campaign Finance Board votes to deny Mayor Eric Adams $4.5 million in public funds for his re-election.

Ingrid Lewis-Martin , his longest-serving, closest aide, will soon be indicted on corruption charges.

The mayor faces attacks from lesser-known Democrats running to unseat him next year , as well as the prospect of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo jumping into the primary.

A pardon from Trump would almost certainly be a political liability for Adams in a Democratic primary, in which left-of-center voters typically flock to the polls.

In the last general election, Trump lost the city 68-30 — proving it remains an anti-Trump Democratic stronghold.

Adams had steered clear of criticizing Trump during the campaign.
