De Blasio, after poor showing, drops out of House race
"It’s clear ... people are looking for another option."
The day after receiving 3 percent support in a Working Families Party poll of the Democratic candidates for the new 10th Congressional District, former Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday announced that he is ending his run for the Democratic nomination.
The Democratic primary for U.S. Congress and State Senate races is Aug. 23.
The district’s map was changed in May and now includes Greenwich Village, Wall Street, Chinatown and a swath of western Brooklyn stretching from DUMBO to Sunset Park and a portion of Borough Park.
