Former New York City mayor Bill de Blasio drops out of crowded House race

NEW YORK (AP) — Previous New York Town Mayor Invoice de Blasio stated Tuesday that he is dropping out of the crowded race for the Democratic nomination in a redrawn Congressional district that consists of his Brooklyn residence.

“It’s apparent the people today of #NY10 are wanting for a different selection and I respect that,” de Blasio posted on Twitter. “Time for me to depart electoral politics and concentrate on other strategies to provide.”

The announcement arrived two months just after the previous mayor joined race for the redrawn 10th Congressional District, which involves parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Other candidates running in the Aug. 23 Democratic most important in the district include Rep. Mondaire Jones, who moved to the place just after remaining redistricted out of the seat he now holds in the suburbs north of New York City, former Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, who past served in Congress in 1981, and former Home impeachment counsel Daniel Goldman.

De Blasio’s two terms as mayor of the nation’s biggest metropolis ended on Dec. 31, 2021.

He considered running for governor of New York but opted not to obstacle incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul. He also experienced a quick-lived run for president in 2019.

Recent polling has positioned de Blasio around the base of the industry of all around a dozen Democrats trying to get to signify the 10th Congressional District.

Rep. Jerry Nadler represents New York’s 10th district now but will no for a longer period are living in it after redistricting.
