Bill de Blasio (Finally) Endorses Hillary Clinton

Mayor Bill de Blasio’s slow, awkward march toward endorsing Hillary Rodham Clinton — the woman who jump-started his political career, and a fellow New York Democrat — reached its arguably inevitable conclusion on Friday, as the mayor extended his presidential blessing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“The candidate who I believe can fundamentally address income inequality effectively, the candidate who has the right vision, the right experience and the ability to get the job done, is Hillary Clinton,” Mr. de Blasio said.

Mrs. Clinton did not appear on the program. Nor did she issue a statement about Mr. de Blasio. Instead, the Clinton campaign emailed a note to reporters calling the mayor’s support “a sign of the campaign’s continued momentum.”

The note added, “The Clinton campaign will also announce that an additional 85 mayors from across the country will endorse her today.”

1. Oh dear

The note added, “The Clinton campaign will also announce that an additional 85 mayors from across the country will endorse her today.”

Not sure what de Blasio was trying to accomplish but it obviously failed.

2. Sander's supporters will need 85 to throw them under.
