Yes, he wants you to believe he just wants to visit Iowa. He’s been running for President since before he became Mayor, that’s why he ran for Mayor. And even in progressive NYC, everyone still despises him for doing nothing. And yes, he’s further left than Hillary and Obama.
Via Free Beacon:
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D.) on Tuesday repeatedly denied that he is running for president in 2020 during a trip to Iowa, a state that automatically begs questions about White House ambitions if politicians head there.
“No,” de Blasio said. “I’m not running for president.”
The New York Times noted, however, that de Blasio made Iowa his first stop since his easy re-election to the mayorship. The Iowa caucuses launch the nominating process each presidential election cycle, so any jaunts to the midwestern state attract attention.
The Washington Post described the far-left mayor as fielding versions of the 2020 question throughout the day. He described himself as focused on his second term.
