Mark Halperin’s 2-Way podcast with Sean Spicer and Dan Turrentine discussed the latest rumor that Eric Adams is getting out of the race. The other part of the rumor is that President Trump will give him a job.
Rumors have been flying around the Internet that Eric Adams and possibly Curtis Sliwa will leave the mayoral race.
