Opinion: Bill de Blasio’s race to nowhere — maybe
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. By Jonathan Capehart Jonathan Capehart Opinion writer focusing on the intersection of social and cultural issues and politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 16 at 6:43 PM Look, I know I’ve been saying for months that anyone who wants to run to try to defeat President Trump should run. And now New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is the 23rd Democrat to join the race for the presidential nomination. But hizzoner really shouldn’t.
Still, there are other reasons de Blasio is doomed — chief among them being how much his fellow New Yorkers don’t want him to run. In a Quinnipiac University poll last month, 76 percent of New York City voters said the mayor shouldn’t run for president. His job approval rating in that same poll sat at just 42 percent. So laughable is the idea of a de Blasio run for the Oval Office that the New York Post published an instant-classic front page to welcome him to the race.
O’Malley was the former hard-charging governor of Maryland who threw his hat in the ring for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination against former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders . While those two espoused support for issues close to the hearts of the Democratic base, O’Malley could actually talk about how he made them happen in Maryland.As I noted at the time, national Democrats favored helping undocumented young people go to college with in-state tuition.
