Bill de Blasio finally pulls the plug on his sputtering presidential bid

Mayor Bill de Blasio finally pulled the plug on his ill-fated presidential bid that failed to gain more than 1 percent support in national polls — but drew plenty of ire from New Yorkers who elected him to run the country’s largest city.

“I feel like I’ve contributed all I can to this primary election and it’s clearly not my time so I’m going to end my presidential campaign,” de Blasio said on “Morning Joe” Friday, over four months after launching his long-shot campaign on May 16.

The 58-year-old — notorious for his tardiness to official city events — said he “started later than I would have liked.”

In an opinion piece for NBC News, de Blasio, the 24th Democrat to jump into the crowded field last spring, said he was going to put his progressive presidential policy ideas to work in New York City.

Yes but each of them gets to keep all the money donated to them for their presidential run, making them tax free millions!

Not only late to events, kind of late seeing the handwriting on the wall. BTW, who the heck funded all of his campaign travel and appearances at sparsely attended events? New Yorkers ought to think about the next election and how bad this moon bat ran the city.
