New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) “revealed Monday that he will not announce his 2020 presidential bid this week after all, despite insiders’ widespread belief that he was planning to take the plunge,” the New York Daily News reports.
Said De Blasio: “There was a story that assumed some specific thing that never was and you can’t have an announcement before there’s a decision.”
