New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Friday that he was giving up running for the Democratic nomination for the 2020 US presidential election.
“It is clearly not my time, I will end my presidential campaign,” announced the mayor of the first American metropolis, who was less than 0.5% in the polls, on the MSNBC channel.
Bill de Blasio, 58, “the worst mayor of the United States” according to Donald Trump, launched in the race last May, hoping to offer nationwide the program he applied in “Big Apple “For” working families “.
His abandonment comes after he had failed to qualify for the latest debates between Democratic candidates. He also probably did not have the fortune to compete in an election that can cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
19 candidates remain in the running to determine who will face Donald Trump in November 2020. The Democratic primaries will begin on February 3 in Iowa.
