Does de Blasio, now a national figure, risk trouble at home?
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s political vision — and his political travels — have increasingly reached far beyond the borders of New York City.
On the same day last week, he made an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-authored an op-ed for the Washington Post with U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and was featured in a glowing Rolling Stone profile. This week, he’ll head to Washington to present a national liberal political agenda and then travel to California to give a pair of speeches.
And so far in 2015, he’s made as many trips to the Midwest — two — to lecture on income inequality as he has made official visits to the city’s borough of Staten Island.
