Mayor Bill de Blasio finally pulled the plug on his ill-fated presidential bid that failed to draw more than 1 percent support in national polls — but brought plenty of ire from New Yorkers who elected him to run the country’s largest city.
“I feel like I’ve contributed all I can to this primary election and it’s clearly not my time so I’m going to end my presidential campaign,” de Blasio said on “Morning Joe” Friday, over four months after launching his long-shot campaign on May 16.
The 58-year-old — notorious for his tardiness at official city events — said he “started later than I would have liked.”
In an opinion piece for NBC News, de Blasio, the 24th Democrat to jump in the crowded field last spring, said he was going to put his progressive presidential policy ideas to work in New York City.
“I’m 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,” he said. Adding that he’ll also “continue implementing universal health care and a Green New Deal in the nation’s largest city.”

STOP THE PRESSES !
He should have ran on the platform that he converted a militant lesbian into a hetero wife and mother.
Now he can get back to destroying NY.
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!

Warren Wilhelm [German] - Bill DeBlasio [Italian-ish]
Robert O’Rourke [Irish] - Beto O’Rourke [Hispan-ish]

Beto, he’s one of them......................
How do onerous, Kafkaesque regulations, burdensome confiscatory taxes, and lax law enforcement improve the "quality of life of everyday New Yorkers"?
And he sports the phony name. He is about as "ethnic" as American cheese with mayonnaise on white bread. But to succeed in New York, you have to be "ethnic" or pretend so. By the way, Columbus day is coming up in a couple of weeks. What will "DeBlasio" do to dishonor Christopher Columbus?
Billy Crystal mocks Bill de Blasio: ‘You’re going nowhere, come back and clean up this city'
