That word is wrong.<\/p>\n<p>So it goes in politics. The chatter at City Hall about Mayor Adams running for president in 2024 is all wrong because it\u2019s coming far too early.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s been mayor for less than five months and hasn\u2019t accomplished nearly enough to justify such fanciful scheming.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His No. 1 job is to make the city safe again, a fact Adams consistently acknowledges. It\u2019s what he campaigned on and it\u2019s why he was elected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As he said himself the other day, \u201cI want that obligation. I thank God I\u2019m the mayor right now and not those that don\u2019t understand the urgency of this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sentiment is welcome, but he has a long way to go, with Sunday morning\u2019s unprovoked subway murder upping the anxiety level. NYPD statistics certify the public\u2019s impression of rising danger with hard numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Through last Sunday, combined reports of the seven major felonies show an increase of 39% over last year. Thankfully, murder is down 10%, but rape, robbery, assault, burglary, grand larceny and car theft are rising by anywhere from 14% to 55%.<\/p>\n<p>Take any of those stats and multiply it by 10 and you get the fear factor. As the mayhem grows, even those who aren\u2019t victims begin to feel it\u2019s inevitable they will be.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These are unsustainable trends if the city is to ever recover from the pandemic and keep even more New Yorkers from running for the exits. At this rate, the economy will not fully rebound and Adams could find himself failing in the job he\u2019s got.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WH_chatter\"><\/span>WH chatter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>He is not, of course, the first Gotham mayor to dream of living in the White House.

If he achieves them, he could be a legitimate contender for the presidency in 2024 or after.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Post reporter Jon Levine wrote in his scoop about White House chatter, a Republican lawmaker said he put it this way to Adams: \u201cI said you really have to consider that you are young enough where you will have a life after the mayoralty and if you solve the crime problem there would be a lot of interest in a big city Democrat, African American with progressive values but who <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>ted the crime problem in a major city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The key words in that sentence are \u201cif you solve the crime problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Truth be told, I\u2019m not even sure that would be rewarded in today\u2019s national Democratic Party. Murder rates started surging during 2020 and haven\u2019t stopped, yet most of the leadership seems coldly indifferent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Crime is ravaging Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and nearly every city, but leftist mayors are making more excuses than progress. Ditto for Dem lawmakers, whether they are in Sacramento or Congress.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When is the last time you heard Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer demand that police crack down on criminals? President Biden is actually set to sign an executive order Wednesday demanding more police accountability, but says hardly a word about the nation\u2019s crime wave on his watch.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Daniel-Enriquez.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Canal street subway station, Q train murder victim Daniel Enriquez.\" class=\"wp-image-22399978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Daniel-Enriquez.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Daniel-Enriquez.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Daniel-Enriquez.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Crime continues on the subway after Daniel Enriquez was randomly shot and killed while riding the Manhattan-bound Q train.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Michael Dalton<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Too many left-leaning prosecutors also are members of the \u201cturn-\u2019em-loose\u201d crowd.

Their so-called \u201creforms\u201d on bail laws and age-related prosecutions are turning courthouse doors into turnstiles. Many criminal suspects are back on the streets before cops finish the arrest paperwork.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is a miracle that police continue to jeopardize their lives and careers by trying to make arrests when so much of the political establishment sees them as the problem instead of the solution.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"He_needs_help\"><\/span>He needs help<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Again, none of this is Adams\u2019 fault \u2014 but it is up to him to solve it. So far, he\u2019s had very little success in getting Albany Dems, including Gov. Hochul, to help him and there\u2019s no sign that this year\u2019s election is making them any more willing to budge. Their re-elections are secure regardless.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the ultimate hurdle Adams faces \u2014 most of his party\u2019s voters, especially younger ones, don\u2019t put a premium on public safety or support for cops, and so candidates don\u2019t either. Indeed, he narrowly won the mayoral primary against a field that was more likely to defund the NYPD than embrace it.<\/p>\n<p>The result is that Adams is going to have to build his own anti-crime bandwagon if there is going to be one. That means taking a hands-on approach to the NYPD, in the way that Giuliani did in the beginning of his term.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Kathy-Hochul-12.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"NY State Governor Kathy Hochul\" class=\"wp-image-22400061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Kathy-Hochul-12.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Kathy-Hochul-12.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Kathy-Hochul-12.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Eric Adams hasn\u2019t had much success getting help from Gov.

If he doesn\u2019t have enough cops to do the job, he should commit to hiring more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However he does it, Adams must start making major headway in the war against crime and drive the numbers down, down, down. If he can pull that off and the public feels safer, he won\u2019t have to talk about running for president.
