Catsimatidis Mulls Mayoral Run as a Democrat

Billionaire John Catsimatidis — who Republicans have viewed as their best hope in the 2021 New York City mayoral race — now says he’s considering switching parties and jumping into the Democratic race instead, Politico reports.

Said Catsimatidis: “I may want to run as a Democrat with this ranked choice thing. This is a Democratic city, and I was a Bill Clinton Democrat. I was a Democrat for a long time. I’m a middle-of-the-road guy. I can be a conservative Democrat, or I can be a liberal Republican.”
