Bill de Blasio launches presidential bid: 'Donald Trump must be stopped'

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio officially launched his bid for the presidency on Thursday in a YouTube video, becoming the 23rd candidate to announce their run for the Democratic Party's 2020 nomination.

In the video, de Blasio highlighted income inequality and climate change, pledging to fight both should he be elected president. "Doesn’t matter if you live in a city or a rural area, a big state, a small state, doesn’t matter what your ethnicity is," de Blasio said."People in every part of this country feel stuck or even like they’re going backwards. But the rich got richer. I’m a New Yorker, I’ve known Trump’s a bully for a long time. This is not news to me or anyone else here. And I know how to take him on.

"I’m Bill de Blasio, and I’m running for president because it’s time we put working people first," he concluded his announcement video. Some of what de Blasio plans to run on is his liberal record as mayor of New York City, which includes enacting

Stopped from what? Winning?

Great message. You run with that Bill. ZERO CHANCE.

KDLTNews He turned NYC into a mess and a hundreds of Millions of dollars missing. No chance

Haha...now the clown car is completed.....the worst Mayor in NY history is running for President lol He couldn't run a lemonade stand!!!

This clown car of candidates approach is HILLARYOUS CrookedHillary2020 😂😂😂

Hysterically funny. The mayor of NYC can't manage the city let alone the country. It was like 20 people showed up in New Hampshire when he showed up. I think 11 we're the press.

He is taller, younger and stronger than Joe and can beat Trump easier in one way for sure.

The guy from the highest taxed state where people leave everyday? No thanks

The clown car of Democrat candidates grows.

Why would you think this is the right time when New Yorkers are upset with the direction NYC has taken? I mean this goes to show you the level of delusion this guy has. The homeless hike may not be due to DeBlah Blah, but he has not done anything to acknowledge the problem.

Just... why?

Stopped from what? using his magic wand to create the lowest unemployment in 50 years! Lowest for minorities EVER! Signing The Right To Try bill. The Criminal Reform bill. Increases in pay. Hostages, and remains coming home from NoKo. What the hell are you trying to stop?

Just no

Trump2020Landslide

DeBlasio is another nominee with delusions of grandeur who thinks he can stop Trump. Comical.

The Trump Effect: Any Average White Male thinks they can do better than the lying creep currently in the White House. Mr. C going with Warren, who is outworking and outsmarting the field.

Just think if deblasio picks gavin Newsom as his running mate it'll be like we moved the whole country into a combination of an open sewer dumpster and needle sharps box. He can pass out facemasks for the smell and free boots to wade through the feces and used needles

I agree 45 must be stopped but deBlasio is not the one to do it.

Why? The ego of these democrats is nauseating. From AOC , to BernieSanders & other Presidential candidates, they all don’t get it. These madness will expose y’all desperation and lack of agenda. At this point I think Trump should just win re-election and let everyone go home 🤦🏾‍♂️

'Donald Trump must be stopped.'🤣Oh, Billy... such Delusions of Grandeur. Every circus needs a clown and at last count the Democrats have 23. BilldeBlasio

Bill, go home.

This is going to be entertaining.

No.

Wait, it’s not April 1

'Donald Trump must be stopped.' Yes, he must. PeteButtigieg 🇺🇸 2020 America needs a solution.

Another one that would beat trump , that's twenty two and that's why so many are running , They all know trump is a dead man walking .

I hope he gets the nomination. He’s less likable than Hillary.

This is getting ridiculous.

Someone that can’t run NYC.

JoeNBC Morning_Joe morningmika BilldeBlasio I am a NYC liberal democrat and I am NOT going to vote for BilldeBlasio

This is getting beyond annoying.

Really? Bill DeBlasio? No thanks.
