NY Mayor de Blasio to run for US president

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is headed to Iowa to kick off his campaign as the 23rd candidate for the 2020 Democratic nomination for US president.

De Blasio, 58, formally announced he is running in a three-minute video on YouTube on Thursday morning, titled Working People First.

Later he appeared on the nationally televised Good Morning America show with his wife Chirlane McCray, where he called fellow New Yorker, President Donald Trump, "Con Don" and a "bully". "Every New Yorker knows he's a con artist," de Blasio said. "We know his tricks. We know his playbook." Trump wasted no time in hitting back at de Blasio on Twitter: "The Dems are getting another beauty to join their group. Bill de Blasio of NYC, considered the worst mayor in the US, will supposedly be making an announcement for president today. He is a JOKE, but if you like high taxes & crime, he's your man. NYC HATES HIM!"
