"Joe Biden's Relationship with Eric Adams Takes a Turn"

The once-friendly relationship between President Joe Biden and New York Mayor Eric Adams has turned icy, with the two not having spoken in nearly a year. Adams' criticism of Biden's handling of the migrant crisis and his involvement in a federal investigation over potential campaign collusion with foreign interests have strained their relationship further. While Biden's advisers see the growing gulf as a way to insulate the president from any political fallout, Democratic leaders believe that Biden's team must have been aware of Adams' past probes. The silence between the two has left them reliant on intermediaries to discuss federal funding for the migrant surge, and Adams remains unapologetic about his call for the president to do more.
