New York City mayor Bill de Blasio said on CBS’s Face the Nation that “we have a democracy problem in this country.” The liberal mayor blamed Republicans for the problem:
“We have democracy problem in this country,” said de Blasio. “We have declining voter turn out. Secretary Clinton put forward a notion that we need a national strategy to energize voting again, to get people involved, obviously to address the many efforts that have been made by Republicans to repress voter involvement.”
De Blasio ran Hillary Clinton’s 2000 Senate campaign in New York. He has declined to endorse Clinton in her 2016 presidential bid.
