Mayor Eric Adams of New York City has quietly explored running in this spring’s Republican primary as he searches for a path to a second term, according to one Republican official and two people familiar with his deliberations.

But conversations ramped up around the time President Trump’s Justice Department ordered prosecutors to drop corruption charges against him.
