Eric Adams ‘hasn’t been feeling his best,’ will undergo medical tests this week

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) “hasn’t been feeling his best” and will have a limited public schedule this week for doctor’s appointments and “routine medical tests,” according to a top aide.

Fabien Levy, the deputy mayor for communications, said in a post on the social platform X on Sunday night that the mayor will communicate with staff “constantly” and make sure city business can continue smoothly.

“New Yorkers can rest assured that their local government will continue to deliver for them every day as our committed workforce at City Hall, and more than 300,000 employees at dozens of city agencies, continue to show up on the most important issues,” Levy said.

“Like every other New Yorker, Mayor Adams has a right to privacy when it comes to personal matters, but we will continue to communicate in the unlikely event he is unable to fully discharge his duties on any particular day,” he added.

The 64-year-old mayor is facing criminal charges, with a bribery trial set to begin in April, while also running for reelection to a second term, with the Democratic primary set for June. Adams has pleaded not guilty and denied all allegations against him.

Levy’s announcement comes one week after Adams made a last-minute shift in his schedule to attend President Trump’s inauguration in Washington, D.C. Adams said he received an invitation from Trump’s team just before the event.
