Thompson concedes NYC Democratic mayoral primary, supports de Blasio
New York City mayoral candidate Bill Thompson conceded the Democratic primary race to front-runner Bill de Blasio on Monday, averting a runoff and clearing the way for de Blasio to campaign for the general election.
Thompson endorsed de Blasio at City Hall, saying he was proud to support him as the party’s nominee to “make this city work for all New Yorkers again.”
“The path to getting there begins with Bill de Blasio walking through these doors as the next mayor of the city of New York,” Thompson said.
