Bitcoin billionaire and Tether co-founder Brock Pierce held an unusual press conference following New York Mayor Eric Adams’ decision to drop out of the race. Less than a week prior, Pierce had donated over $1 million to Adams’ campaign. During the event, he announced a “Draft Eric Back” movement and made pointed remarks about Adams’ former chief of staff, Frank Carone, calling him a “rat” who sabotaged the campaign.
