De Blasio Attends NAN's Weekly Rally



NY1News

Democratic candidate for mayor Bill de Blasio joined the Rev. Al Sharpton for the National Action Network's weekly rally Saturday.

While Sharpton did not officially endorse de Blasio, he seemed to send a clear signal by standing with him.

Democratic mayoral candidate William Thompson, who came in second in the primary and has a long-standing relationship with Sharpton, was not invited to the event, despite the fact that there is some uncertainty over whether they will be a runoff in the Democratic mayoral primary.

Sharpton said he spoke with Thompson Saturday morning and said he is always welcome at the National Action Network.
