Bill de Blasio, most hated candidate in the 2020 Democratic primary, drops out

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Friday that he is bowing out the 2020 presidential race, thinning a still-overcrowded field of presidential hopefuls.

“I feel like I’ve contributed all I can to this primary election and it’s clearly not my time,” de Blasio said during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “So I’m going to end my presidential campaign, continue my work as mayor of New York City, and I’m going to keep speaking up for working people and for a Democratic Party that stands for working people.”
