Former New York City mayor Bill de Blasio announces that he is quitting the race to fill New York’s 10th Congressional seat after trailing significantly in the polls in recent weeks.
The Democratic primary is scheduled to take place in late August, with Rep. Mondaire Jones seen as the frontrunner.
It’s clear the people of #NY10 are looking for another option and I respect that. Time for me to leave electoral politics and focus on other ways to serve. I am really grateful for all the people I met, the stories I heard and the many good souls who helped out. Thank you all! pic.twitter.com/gpt6V6WLUf
