My “I’m not dropping my fatally doomed reelection campaign” t-shirt has a lot of people asking questions already answered by my shirt
ok this was an excellent post and Eric Adams dropping out of the race while speaking from a podium that reads "NEVER QUITS" would have been one of the most perfectly Eric Adams things ever to happen
but apparently he's refusing the Trump bribe and staying in the race
lol and lmao
