Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announces that he will not be running for the next Governor of NY city.
“No, I am not going to be running for governor in New York state. But I am going to devote every fiber of my being to fight inequality in the state of New York.” de Blasio said.
Prior to this announcement, de Blasio made a statement referencing a couple of moments where he drew scorn. He mentioned how he dropped groundhog Staten Island Chuck who later died from the injuries and added the time when he continued to go to the gym early in the coronavirus pandemic right before they closed down all over the state.
“Now, I made my fair share of mistakes. I was not good with groundhogs at all. Probably shouldn’t have gone to the gym.”

However, despite the missteps he still claimed that he “changed things in this town” pointing out how the New York City went from the “epicenter” to “the safest place in this country” and mentioned his contributions to the free pre-K, “hundreds of thousands of affordable apartments,” the Green New Deal, and cutting carbon emissions.
De Blasio’s term ended at the close of 2021. Since then, he’s been teased that he would “share some more news with you in the days ahead.”
