Biden To Discuss Gun Violence With Adams In NYC Visit

Gothamist reports:

President Joe Biden plans to meet with Mayor Eric Adams in New York City next week to discuss the steady rise in gun violence across the five boroughs.

The visit comes after Adams had been pressing the federal government for help in battling gun violence, specifically since the fatal shooting of two NYPD officers last week.

A spokesperson for the mayor’s office confirmed the visit that’s slated for February 3rd and its subject matter. This marks the first time Biden will meet with Adams as mayor. The two met last July to discuss the very same topic, before the mayor took office.
