Black ex-cop set to become New York mayor

Eric Adams, a Black ex-cop who fought racial discrimination in the NYPD, is set to be elected as the city's next mayor on Tuesday, with the job of heading the city's post-pandemic recovery.

The 61-year-old Democrat and vegan activist will become only the second African American to manage New York City, a job that is frequently regarded as the most challenging in the country after president.
