New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will announce that he's running for president Thursday, a spokesperson confirmed to CBS News.

NYC has become overtaxed, bike lanes w/out bikes causing more traffic, congestion pricing to gauge us, more homeless on the streets, too much $ spent on the wrong things...

He needs a mirror... he doesn’t even deserve to run NYC

[claireconover]

everyone knows new yorkers have ample complaints about deblasio.
if he can’t satisfy new york city, he’s not gonna do the country any better.

he’s got no chance.
he’s be wise to change his mind and save his money.

[eios]

Dumblasio = worst mayor of NYC in decades

[joannp]

[gerardcomeau]

Amazing what narcissism and a sociopath can do, and belive...

[joyphillips]

We hate him in in NY. The high tax rate is why even democrats want to leave. Just a warning guys...

[planetbrooklynsupreme]

[emceedonald]

[hellokidney]

[ChriS-zhbh]

President Bill De Blesio said by no one

[nelsonrios]

Okay I’ll throw my hat in the ring, I’d like to announce I’ll also be running for president....seriously how badly do they want to divide their voter base?

[theharrisfamily]

Maybe the dems should bow out. They haven't got a chance. They could take the next five plus years to reflect on epic failure and maybe reinvent themselves. Not that anyone will ever view them the same again or trust them for that matter.

[Junior]

He's delusional if he thinks he can win.

[wills.]

A broomstick would have a better shot at winning than all the democratic candidates put together.
