Former Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday endorsed socialist Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani in the race for City Hall — claiming the progressive’s “bold, sweeping” agenda will save the Big Apple.
“We don’t just need Zohran Mamdani to be our mayor because he has the right ideas, or because they can be achieved,” de Blasio said in a New York Daily News op-ed as he threw his support behind the front-runner.
“We need him because in his heart and in his bones he cannot accept a city that prices out the people who built it and keep it running.”
The ex-mayor, who served two terms from 2014 to 2021, insisted Mamdani’s promise for affordability — including rent freezes, free child care and free city buses — was the reason he cinched the June Democratic primary.
“Yet, though many New Yorkers agree with him — many others are skeptical. Still others have lost faith in the city government’s ability to not only talk, but deliver. They want to know one fundamental truth: can it be done?” he wrote.
“I can say definitely — and I know better than anyone — that the answer is yes.”...
De Blasio — who endorsed Mayor Eric Adams in the 2021 election — argued that President Trump’s cost-cutting agenda was even more reason to elect the socialist in November.
“At a time when Donald Trump is cutting SNAP benefits, gutting Medicaid, and once again leaving working people out to dry, the need for an unwavering fighter in City Hall has never been higher,” he wrote.
“It’s not enough to have a ‘leader’ unwilling to be bold in their pursuit for economic opportunity, or hiding behind this so-called question of feasibility.”

But this is NYC.
Very true...if you want to kill the city.
DeBlasio tried to destroy New York City but didn’t quite get there. He’s hoping Mandani will finish the job.
They ALWAYS leave that out .... d@m commies.
Duh Commieo has his $800,000,000 from “Public Service”.
One of the biggest messages from all of this is that urban centers like NYC should NEVER decide who runs the nation.
Thank God and the wisdom God gave the founders in giving us an electoral college.
Well, that’s a real shocker! /s
Stupid worthless communist idiot likes him some Mamdani, huh? Yeah, he would.
Sometimes lately with democrats you think this stuff HAS to be coming from the Babylon Bee. But nope, they’re serious.
I assumed this wasn’t Rudi. He has more pressing matters right now.

“”We don’t just need Zohran Mamdani to be our mayor because he has the right ideas, or because they can be achieved,” de Blasio said “”
What a weird statement. IOW, just blather - not expecting to accomplish anything!! If someone thinks they CAN’T achieve what they propose, what are the chances of succeeding? Probably the homeless on the streets have the “right ideas” also and stand as much chance.
Obama should endorse him next.
A Communist endorsing a Communist. Why is this even news?
Perfect NY deserves him
