Mariano Rivera Endorses Former President Trump For Re-Election

Former President Trump Visits The Southern Border With Texas Governor Abbott

New York Yankees legend Mariano Rivera recently expressed his support for former President Trump, endorsing him for a potential presidential run in November. Rivera, who appeared on WABC radio's 'Sid & Friends' show, stated that he considers Trump a friend and would vote for him over President Biden.

Trump, a self-proclaimed Yankees fan, awarded Rivera the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2019, praising him as 'maybe the greatest pitcher of all time.' Rivera, known as the all-time saves leader in Major League Baseball, was honored to receive the nation's highest civilian honor, joining the ranks of other sports icons like Tiger Woods and Jerry West.

Reflecting on the moment he received the medal, Rivera described it as 'amazing.' Throughout his illustrious 19-season career with the Yankees, Rivera amassed an impressive record of 652 saves and secured five World Series championships.

Trump's admiration for Rivera extended beyond his athletic achievements, acknowledging the pitcher's humility and deep Christian faith. In Trump's words, 'The Lord doesn't care about wealth or fame. The Lord cares about goodness and love in our hearts.'

Rivera's endorsement of Trump adds an interesting dimension to the political landscape, showcasing the intersection of sports and politics. As the nation gears up for the upcoming election, Rivera's public support for his friend Trump has sparked conversations and debates among fans and observers alike.
