Biden, Adams, And Hochul To Discuss Gun Violence In NYC

WHITE HOUSE

13:45 ET/19:45 GMT: The event can be watched live here.


  • An event between President Biden, New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York Governor Kathy Hochul is taking place shortly. The event could indicate a revised White House strategy on crime.
  • Since the peak of the Black Lives Matter movement Washington Democrats have been quietly rolling back on murmurings to 'defund' police forces.
  • Biden will be hoping that Mayor Adam's support will ease the transition to a firmer position on gun crime amongst black voters.
  • Republicans have been attacking Biden for being easy on crime and have blamed Democrat policy on rising murder rates.
  • Using Hochul and Adams to help pivot policy to a more moderate position on crime could be a shrewd strategy. Hochul, in particular, is an unusually centrist Democrat governor for New York and has achieved more success in the role than anticipated.
