The president's gambit is backed up by a solid stock market and an economy that gives him the leeway to keep pressing his case.

Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City, pauses while speaking during a 'Green New Deal' rally in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York, U.S., on Monday, May 13, 2019.Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City, will officially enter the 2020 race for president on Thursday, NBC News reported Wednesday, citing a spokesperson for De Blasio.– than nearly any other Democrat in the race.

Nevertheless, de Blasio took a number of steps signaling his intention to run for the White House. The New York Timesthat de Blasio traveled to battleground states, held pricey donor events and spoke at high-profile political conferences. His entry makes him only the latest in a sea of nearly two dozen Democrats vying to take on President. Former Vice President Joe Biden took an early and commanding lead in opinion polls when he announced in late April, while Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., have remained competitive at the top of the pack.

As mayor of a metropolis that reliably votes Democratic in presidential elections, de Blasio has taken a hard-line stance against Trump on multiple fronts. On Monday, de Blasio staged a campaign rally-style news conference inside Manhattan's Trump Tower, which was intended to criticize the Trump administration's handling of environmental issues and advocate for an "NYC Green New Deal.

De Blasio's announcement came shortly before the first of the Democratic primary debates in June and July. The Democratic National Committee says that a maximum of 20 candidates will be able to qualify for those debates, based on polls and donor numbers. With so many candidates already tentatively cleared to participate, de Blasio may face an uphill battle trying to secure a spot on the stage.

Good. The idiots need another fool to join the team. He will probably pick AOC for his running mate.

Sorry, you're out of touch!

LOL BilldeBlasio

Damn the Dems keep bringing the nuts out of the woods. Like a bunch of rabid squirrels. Hilarious. Trump will beat these folks in record fashion. Can’t wait to see the doctored polls leading up to this one. Science at its best! Bahahaha

He has ruined NYC, now he wants to do the same to the U.S. The “Nnuckleheads” in NYC will probably vote for him again.

Hahahahaha

The Dems are just making it easier for Trump to be re-elected. The infighting and bashing that is going to take place for the next year plus is going to completely fracture the base, and as each one tries to go further left wing, the more the moderates will be disenfranchised.

Very sick communist leanings, take his citizenship.

He can totally win....let's go

One more clown joining the circus.

Another one bites the dust

Give list o persons who are not in running, it will make it simpler.From all accounts , iyt seems everyone who is someone or nobody is in race to nowhere

👎🏽

Another delusional politician

Worsties

Wrong dirección dems

Flintstones! Meet the Flintstones

I never watched the debates but I will now. It should be like SNL. That Democrat Convention should be a shit shown. Loss count 23 candidates? 😆

LOL

Sad

It’s absolutely no fun doing the job I was elected to do.

That’s a joke right? Another loser. Who would vote for this guy?

Another sign the Republicans will win back the House and increase numbers in Senate.

BilldeBlasio AOC another clown show utopian. The Green Deal should be written on toilet paper

Wow, a guy that is destroying NY City can try for a higher level? Too bad.

O.M.G. 🤣

não sabe sequer receber 1 presidente?

LMAO. Welcome to the race, Comrade!

I am not completely sure what the scam is running for President. Maybe it is the fund raising and the ability to keep the funds not spent, maybe it’s the increase name recognition that creates earning potential later- but something is making losers like this guy run

Oh dear

Same guy that brought 125k Amazon jobs to NYC? Should do well w/economy platform.

What a jerk

Why not? If you can ruin it here, you can ruin it anywhere. YOLO 🤘

.Bill de Blasio's wife can't account for $850m given to mental health project | Daily Mail Online

hope there's some money left for the Dem candidate to run against Trump after 20+ candidates soak the base for a year.

The candidate no one wants in a race he has no chance of being even in the running to make the debates. He's the definition of mediocrity.

Why

Why?

Democratic Candidates entering the debate site.

Hopefully running for president of Venezuela and wins so he gets the hell out of NY for good deBlasio4 presidentVenezuela

Foolish

Just about the dumbest, most selfish thing he could do right now. He's sure as hell not going to win, but he will waste a lot of time in Iowa and Wisconsin when there's a major housing crisis in the city that he's supposed to be the mayor of.

* Will enter at 0%

The clown gets bigger; this guy is one big joke.

Another Democrat is now entering the race. Actually, I am not sure he could defeat Rep Ocasio-Cortez when she runs for re-election in 2020.

DOA...

Comrade Warren Wilhelm thinks the 20 candidates are not communist enough.

Make room in the Democratic Party clown car for the biggest clown of all.

He should run as an independent...

Oh goodness spare us

LOL!

Odds makers are trying to see if a number less than zero is legal for his chance at being President

Why and when is this circus of every Dem jumping into the presidential race gonna end! Dems have to put their forces behind one candidate and not sound like disgruntled fools
