New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio flirting with a 2020 bid
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has made some initial steps toward exploring a presidential bid. However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... with an extremely crowded Democratic primary field dominated by some of the party’s biggest names, the mayor’s moves have left some of his allies scratching their heads and dubious of his chances. One Democratic ally of the mayor’s said de Blasio reached out to them in recent weeks to discuss a potential presidential bid. The ally was surprised the mayor had his eye on 2020 given the long odds of a victory, but assumed de Blasio might see the race as an opportunity to advance his policy ideals. "He’s a true blue liberal and would do anything for the cause. He may see this as a good platform," the de Blasio ally said. A former de Blasio adviser also said the mayor had been "shopping for a digital consultant" to work on an unspecified campaign. Posted by: Fred 2019-02-10 |
