Bill de Blasio is officially running for Congress

If they elect him, they deserve him.

[NYPOST] Former Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Friday that he is running for Congress in a new district straddling Manhattan and Brooklyn.

“I’m declaring my candidacy for Congress in the 10th Congressional District in New York,” the failed 2020 Democratic presidential candidate told MSNBC Friday morning.

“Polls show people are hurting, they need help, they need help fast, they need leaders that can actually get them help now,” de Blasio added. “I know how to do it from years of serving the people of this city.”

The 61-year-old faces a deep candidate field in the Aug. 23 primary as well as a deep political backlash months after concluding an eight-year mayoral tenure many consider the worst in New York’s history.

“BDB is political creepy. He’s the dude that won’t leave you alone at a party,” lefty activist Charles Khan tweeted Friday.

Friday’s announcement comes two days after the Post reported on de Blasio’s interest in the newly-created district that includes lower Manhattan, parts of Brownstone Brooklyn and Borough Park. He formed an exploratory committee on Wednesday.

I believe that's Jerry ~~Waddler's~~ Nadler's district; if DiBlasio wins, it just might be an improvement!

#2 Dems are already upset that Nadler and Carolyn Maloney have to run against each other. And Wilhelm is stepping into that? Good luck and can all three of them somehow lose?

#4 I hope they all decide to debate each other and drop truth bombs galore. One of them can bring up the time de Blasio destroyed the city with a lock down. Somebody else can point out the time that Nadler took a dump in his pants during an official function.
