Republican who ran for NYC mayor backs Eric Adams, urges Trump to step in to help clear slate

A Republican who ran for mayor in 2021 is now throwing his support behind incumbent Eric Adams — as he urged President Trump to step in to help on Sunday.

Fernando Mateo, who is a spokesman for the United Bodegas of America, is asking the commander-in-chief to convince Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa to drop out as this year’s GOP candidate to get Adams to appear on the Republican Party line.
