Biden to Eric: I got your back on crime

President Biden called Mayor Adams on Monday night to offer support for Hizzoner’s plan to crack down on violent crime after the fatal shooting of two NYPD officers in Harlem last week.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at her regular briefing Tuesday that Biden called Adams “to express his deepest condolences” over the deaths of Officers Wilbert Mora and Jason Rivera.

Psaki said Biden “reiterated his admiration for the brave men and women of law enforcement who risk their lives on a daily basis . . . and he expressed his firm support for Mayor Adams’ efforts to combat gun violence and violent crime.”

Rivera, 22, succumbed to his wounds Friday after being shot during a domestic-disturbance call. Mora, 27, was taken off life support Tuesday, shortly after Psaki spoke. Gunman Lashawn McNeil, 47, died Monday from wounds suffered when a third officer returned fire.

In response to the shootings, excop Adams announced a plan to combat rising crime by launching a plainclothes anti-gun unit that will replace a similar unit scrapped in 2020 amid police-brutality protests.

“We have a true ally in the @WhiteHouse,” Adams tweeted Tuesday with a clip of Psaki’s remarks. “[Biden] knows what it takes to keep our streets safe and his support will be invaluable.”

Psaki told reporters that “during the call, the president also reiterated his commitment to serve as a strong federal partner for New York City and other communities grappling with the increasing gun crime we’ve seen over the past two years.”
