Fox News national correspondent Bryan Llenas has reported on allegations that Donald Trump is considering appointing former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s former deputy mayor, Scott Sliwa, and former City Council member Christine Quinn’s chief of staff, Brad Adams, to key administration roles in an effort to secure victory against mayoral candidate Eric Adams. The report claims these positions could help Trump’s team counter the campaign of Eric Adams, who is running against Giuliani’s former ally and current mayor, Bill de Blasio.
The allegations come amid ongoing speculation about Trump’s potential involvement in the city’s political landscape, despite denials from both Adams and Sliwa. While Trump has consistently denied any such plans, the report highlights the shifting political dynamics in New York City as candidates prepare for the upcoming mayoral election. The potential appointments of Sliwa and Adams could signal a strategic move by Trump’s team to bolster their campaign against Adams, who is backed by a significant portion of the city’s electorate.
