Good news! I looked out on this field of 22 candidates, some of whom are intelligent, some of whom are even experts, some of whom are young, some of whom are female, some of whom are people of color, some of whom are governors, some of whom are senators, and I thought: It is missing something. What it is missing is myself.
These candidates have many good qualities, but none of them are Bill de Blasio. I know that because I’m Bill de Blasio. And now -- I’m running.
Call this announcement a groundhog, because I am going to drop it, and everyone is going to be thrilled, I think.
