New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who vowed to take on "bully" President Trump, has officially dropped out of the packed 2020 presidential race. He announced the end of his campaign on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Friday morning.
"I'm gonna end my presidential campaign, continue my work as mayor of New York City and I'm gonna keep speaking up for working people and for a Democratic party that stands for working people," de Blasio said during his morning appearance. In an opinion piece for NBC News, de Blasio conceded that after several months of campaigning, he had "reached the point where I feel I have contributed all I can to this Democratic primary."

How sad, there’s going to be like 30 - 40 people really upset.
LOL!
Voters already ended his bid awhile back
Ends? When did it start?
Just damn he was our last hope.
This Communist @$$hole got elected mayor by being anti-cop. How does that sell anywhere, even in NYC?
What a laugh. A guy who works 7 hours a month is going to represent “working people”.
The guy is about the biggest douche bag on the planet. He’s destroyed New York City.
Yeah, now Kaiser Wilhelm gets to come home and apply his anti-Midas touch to the boroughs of New York City.
At that task, he has been singularly successful.
Now he wouldn’t have been running so folks seeking mayoral favors could make campaign contributions, would have he been? Just curious as to the motivation since it was obvious he was a legend in his own mind.
Exactly. Millions will be sad because he’ll focus on NYC now.
The only people disappointed are the citizens of NYC. Now he will be back there full time. He was better when he was out of town.
Terrible news.
He’ll be back to terrorize NYC government. And we lose the entertainment he provided.
The money stopped coming in, so he’s no longer pretending to want to be president.
Oh no, really big political news, perhaps the biggest story in years! Part time Mayor of New York City, @BilldeBlasio, who was polling at a solid ZERO but had tremendous room for growth, has shocking dropped out of the Presidential race. NYC is devastated, he’s coming home!
Trump=Best President Ever!!!!
He just didn't know it yet.
You mean, everything he touches turns to shi...er...not gold?
I agree. And with just the competition in his party alone, that's quite a feat!
