Mayor Eric Adams is ending his bid for reelection, he said in a video message Sunday.

Adams was running as an independent after forgoing the Democratic primary in June.

He had been running a distant fourth in recent polls, behind Democrat Zohran Mamdani, independent candidate Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

In a statement, a spokesperson from the mayor's campaign confirmed that Adams will continue to serve the rest of his term.

The spokesperson added that the mayor "will not be doing one-on-one interviews" during this time frame.
