Weiner Will Run for New York City Mayor

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D) is preparing to jump into the New York City mayoral race, possibly as soon as next week, the New York Daily News reports.

“At least two people close to Weiner have been contacting political operatives to gauge if they would go to battle for him.”

Politico reports Weiner has already hired Danny Kedem as his campaign manager, “a recent Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee adviser who spent four months working on a failed Staten Island congressional race last year.”
