Bill de Blasio is (depending on how you want to count) the 23rd person seriously trying to win the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.
Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City who has repeatedly sought to brand himself as a leading American progressive, will run for president.
The mayor announced his decision in a video Thursday morning, ahead of an appearance on"Good Morning America.""Don't back down in the face of a bully," de Blasio said in the video, referring to President Donald Trump."Confront him. Take him on." "As president, I will take on the wealthy, I will take on the big corporations, I will not rest until this government serves working people," he said.
De Blasio is a deep longshot in a primary race already filled with longshots, including two other current mayors. But he’s comfortable with unlikely campaigns: In 2013, when he held the largely powerless elected position of New York City public advocate, he ran a mayoral campaign in a crowded field as a progressive champion out to eliminate wealth inequality. He won, beating out front-runners who had long planned for the race.
