...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserved him...was elated by the news Thursday that Attorney General Letitia James had dropped out of the 2022 gubernatorial race — seeing her exit as a chance to jump into a less crowded Democratic primary field with only one other progressive, according to sources."They’re on cloud nine!" said a source close to de Blasio about the lame-duck mayor and his political advisers.
While de Blasio hasn’t made his run for governor official, he created a candidate committee and is expected to make the announcement in January.
"I’m going to be going around the state of New York, starting next month, talking to the people of this state," de Blasio said on MSNBC Thursday when "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd asked if he was going to rethink his gubernatorial race after James bowed out.
"I want to stay in public service. I want to address the issues I’ve been focused on, fighting income equality, getting more kids access to better education. I have a lot of energy to do that and I’ll have a lot more to say in the coming next few weeks," de Blasio said.
Shortly after James broke her unexpected news, de Blasio attended a ribbon-cutting at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
