New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s re-election campaign has been denied millions of public matching funds, a major blow for the mayor who is seeking a second term despite facing a spring trial on federal corruption charges.

Citing his ongoing corruption case, the city’s Campaign Finance Board denied Mayor Eric Adams about $4 million in public matching funds for his 2025 reelection run Monday, dealing a blow to Adams as he tries to fend off more than a half dozen challengers in next year’s Democratic primary.

New York City's Campaign Finance Board cited allegations in the mayor's criminal indictment in denying his campaign potentially millions of dollars.
