New York Mayor Eric Adams announced on Sunday that he would end his re-election bid, dropping out of a race that has shaken the political landscape and drawn the interest of national leaders, including President Donald Trump.

"Despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my reelection campaign," he said in a video announcing his withdrawal, adding that "constant media speculation" about his future made it impossible to stay in the race.

"Major change is welcome and necessary, but beware of those who claim the answer (is) to destroy the very system we built over generations," he said. "That is not change, that is chaos. Instead, I urge leaders to choose leaders not by what they promise, but by what they have delivered."

Adams did not endorse any other candidate in the race.
