Mayor insists he’s not running for White House

Take it directly from Mayor Adams: His future plans include City Hall, not the White House.

Published reports about the mayor’s alleged aspirations for a bigger job in Washington were “100% untrue,” responded Adams adviser Evan Thies on Saturday.

“There’s a difference between gossip and news — and the truth is that the mayor is completely focused on bringing New York City back by lowering crime, growing our economy and reversing inequality.”

A well-connected political source was more blunt about the idea of an Adams presidential run in 2024: “It’s delusional.”

The rumblings started before the Democratic mayor even finished his fifth month in office, with City Hall dealing with an uptick in murders capped by the recent slaying of an innocent 11-year-old Bronx girl killed by a stray bullet.

The chatter about a White House run claimed Adams would look to make a move if President Biden opted not to seek a second term. No New York mayor has ever succeeded in a run for the nation’s top job, although several have come up short: John Lindsay, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Bloomberg and Bill de Blasio.

It’s not the first speculation surrounding the future of the former NYPD captain in the nascent days of his first term in the office.

Earlier this month, Adams — who discovered he was was dyslexic in college — even joked about the presidency, saying he might already have a seat in the White House if his learning disability was diagnosed earlier.

“We would not be saying just ‘Mr. Mayor,’ ” he cracked. ‘You’d probably be saying, ‘Mr. President.’ ”
