Mayor de Blasio Withdraws from 2020 Presidential Race

Mayor de Blasio announced his decision to withdraw from the presidential race today. The Mayor was not able to gain much traction and was unable to meet the requirements to participate in the last presidential debate. The Mayor promised to continue to fight for progressive change for New York.

The Mayor said:

“I’m going to redouble my efforts to improve the quality of life of everyday New Yorkers, proving that policies like guaranteed paid personal time off can work on a grand scale. I’m going to continue implementing universal health care and a Green New Deal in the nation’s largest city. And I promise I’ll fight for New Yorkers and workers everywhere to ensure there’s an actual plan to protect their livelihoods from being automated out of existence.”
