NYC Mayor's Race: Eric Adams fundraises in Florida with Trump-backed influencers | amNewYork
Briefly

Mayor Eric Adams is running an independent campaign for reelection after attending a fundraiser hosted by right-wing influencers in Fort Lauderdale. The fundraiser was attended by conservative groups, including Moms for Liberty, which opposes LGBTQ+ inclusion in schools. Adams recorded an episode of the right-wing podcast PBD Podcast, where he criticized Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani. Recent polls indicate Adams as a second choice for Republicans in the upcoming election. He expressed gratitude to his supporters Tony Delgado and Hugo Sanchez for their financial backing.
In a video posted on Sanchez's social media, Adams thanks Delgado and Sanchez for their support, saying their donations helped keep his campaign afloat. I cannot thank you enough, Adams said. You kept me on life support, and now I'm off life support, and I'm running around doing what I need to do.
Delgado, who founded a Spanish-speaking financial literacy group, is a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump and has peddled conspiracy theories about the Epstein files, including that they reveal politicians' supposed role in a massive sex trafficking ring.
