NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio ended his campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination on Friday after struggling to gain traction in a sprawling field of candidates.
President Donald Trump, no fan of de Blasio, tweeted :"Oh no, really big political news, perhaps the biggest story in years! Part time Mayor of New York City, @BilldeBlasio, who was polling at a solid ZERO but had tremendous room for growth, has shocking dropped out of the Presidential race. NYC is devastated, he's coming home!"
He qualified for the first two rounds of debates but failed to make the September debate stage and appeared unlikely to qualify for the October debates. Story continuesThe protests did not end after the Aug. 19 firing of Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who placed Garner in the chokehold that contributed to his death. An activist attending de Blasio's Aug. 25 CNN town hall shouted,"What about Lieutenant Bannon? What about Officer Ramos? ... What about other officers?" referring to officers who were also present during Garner's arrest.
