For an undisclosed fee, Mr. Met put on his partisan hat and made an appearance on Bell Boulevard Thursday night.

The baseball mascot was a draw to this campaign office for the night.

Which had notes of a cocktail party on top of political rally.

The former mayor himself wasn't there as he was crisscrossing the country to make his case to become the next president of the United States. On Friday, that included another endorsement, President Trump's former NAVY secretary.

"I do believe that Mike can get it done," said Former Navy Secretary Richard Spencer.

But here at home, Bloomberg has about a dozen state and local lawmakers backing his campaign so far.

Two of them just made it official Thursday night.  

"My colleagues were supporting other folks. And now they are reconsidering," said Queens Councilman Clyde Vanel.

“This is that hard working middle class back bone of New York City. So it makes perfect sense for him to open up an office in Northeast Queens and that's why we were proud to endorse him on day one when he asked,” said Paul Vallone, a Queens Councilman.

Bloomberg personally called this Queens Councilman to get his support. And he's calling others too, trying to get more local leaders on board with his campaign.

"So many Latinos, so many Puerto Ricans, who call New York home," said Assemblyman Marcos Crespo.

Like the chairman of the Bronx democratic party. Assemblyman Marcos Crespo is supporting Joe Biden unless, he says, the former vice president drops out of the race. He said Bloomberg's call was a sign of respect.

"We just can't sit back," said Congressman Greg Meeks.

The Bloomberg team is also courting the Queens County chairman, Congressman Greg Meeks. His office told us the congressman is talking to all of the presidential candidates.

"Mike has talked to a lot of people during this run to get their counsel on what he should do, to figure out how he should run this race,” said John Calvelli, NY State Director, Mike Bloomberg 2020.

Of course, those conversations may not necessarily translate into endorsements or votes for the former mayor.
