Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, who’s likely to launch a bid for president this spring, got a less than warm reception from Mayor Eric Adams during his visit to the five boroughs on Monday.
DeSantis traveled from the Sunshine State to the Big Apple to attend an event focused on “protecting Law and Order in New York” at the Privé catering hall on the South Shore of Staten Island — one of the city’s only bastions of conservatism — in the early morning hours of Presidents Day. The event was hosted by the Staten Island Republican Party and drew the likes of local GOP heavy-hitters such as the party’s chair — Assembly Member Michael Tannousis — and City Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli (Staten Island).
