New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is finally calling it quits.The 2020 Democrat announced Friday he's ending his campaign for president, saying in an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe, "It's clearly not my time."De Blasio entered the 2020
Democratic presidential race in May but didn't qualify for the third Democratic debate in September due to his low polling; he was unable to reach two percent support in four qualifying polls and 130,000 individual donors. His polling hadn't much improved since then, and he was generally earning either zero or one percent support.De Blasio cited this as his reason for not remaining in the race, saying he was not "going to be able to meet" the "high bar" required to get back into the debates. He declined to endorse another candidate but said he will support the eventual Democratic nominee. Now, de Blasio can focus full time on
New York City, where a recent poll found his presidential bid earned zero percent support.
