Embattled Mayor Adams says he’s voting for Kamala Harris as he enters polling site – one day after bizarrely refusing to say her name

Mayor Eric Adams said he cast his vote for Kamala Harris as he headed into the polls Tuesday — just one day after he bizarrely refused to say her name.

Hizzoner was asked by reporters on his ballot choice as he rushed into his polling site at Public School 81 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn around 5 p.m.

"The same person I endorsed," Adams said. "VP Kamala Harris."

Adams refused to answer further questions on his choice, telling the crowd that voicing his opinion would amount to "electioneering."

That's also what the embattled mayor said on Monday when asked who he'd be supporting in the 2024 presidential election during his weekly off-topic briefing from City Hall.

"I have to be extremely careful," Adams told reporters. "Everything I do is critiqued highly, and I have to be careful, and if I'm doing electioneering here at this podium, you're gonna write a story about it... So you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't."

He said: "Who I endorsed is who I'm voting for," and noted he'd be watching the results with his son, Jordan.

Adams endorsed Harris over the summer after she replaced President Biden as the Democratic pick, but has been noticeably quiet about her candidacy for the remainder of her campaign.

He said he was given legal advice to be extra careful with his words while conducting mayoral duties since he's come under a microscope after being indicted on federal bribery and corruption charges in late September.

Adams mentioned that he went to the Democratic National Convention in August to cast his vote for Harris' nomination as a delegate — adding he didn't know "how much more enthusiasm" he could show for his party's nominee.

Hizzoner's lack of fanfare for his party's pick for president — coupled with his recent defense of former President Donald Trump over Dems' branding of him as "fascist" — could be an attempt to cozy up to the Republican candidate should he win the election, sources previously told The Post .

Trump — who publicly defended Adams during his Madison Square Garden mega-rally last week — could be a deciding factor in getting the case against Adams scrapped.

His supporters hope that Trump — if elected — would replace Attorney General Merrick Garland with a prosecutor who would drop the case against the mayor, sources have said.

"I don't think it is far-fetched to say a Trump win could help Adams," one source said.

Adams has pleaded not guilty to all five counts he faces and has tried to claim — without evidence — that he was targeted by the federal government for being an outspoken critic of the ongoing migrant crisis.

Trump echoed Adams' claims during his MSG rally and said the mayor "has been treated pretty badly" over his complaints about migrants flooding the city.

"I said, 'Well, he's going to be indicted by these lunatics for saying that.' A year later, he got indicted," Trump told the stadium crowd.

Adams has coyly hinted that he'd "welcome" support from the Republican nominee.

"I welcome support from every American," Adams said last month when asked about Trump's statements of support. "No matter where they are and who they are."

More recently, the moderate Democrat denounced his party members for calling Trump a "fascist."

"I have had those comments hurled at me by some political leaders in the city; my answer is 'No,' " he said when asked about the criticism of Trump.
