Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Mayor de Blasio disses Mike Bloomberg's presidential ambitions
New York Daily NewsMayor de Blasio said Monday there’s “no way” his predecessor Mike Bloomberg should be the Democratic presidential nominee.
“This is a Democratic Party today that’s getting more progressive, that wants to address the concerns of working people, that does not accept the status quo," de Blasio told reporters alongside the Veterans Day Parade in Midtown. “There’s no way in the world we should nominate a billionaire who epitomizes the status quo.”
Hizzoner praised Bloomberg, who began taking serious steps to enter the race last week, for Bloomberg’s action on issues like climate change and gun control.
But de Blasio, who put an end to his humiliating presidential run in September, slammed Bloomberg for allegedly falling short of areas de Blasio himself has prioritized.
