It has been a challenging few weeks for Mayor Eric Adams, who is now midway through his second year in office. Last weekend, he spoke at a predominantly Black church in Brooklyn to take aim at the local media and complained that one of the hardest parts of being mayor is not getting the respect he deserves. NY1 political reporters Juan Manuel Benítez, Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena weigh in on the mayor's remarks and what they indicate about his ability to do his job.

After that, the City Council is expanding the distribution of city vouchers for people in need of housing assistance by overriding a mayoral veto. The “Off Topic/On Politics" team looks at this rare turn of events and the reasons the legislation is both complicated and divisive.
