De Blasio endorses former 2020 rival Sanders for president.
De Blasio's 2013 campaign was styled as a rebuke to Bloomberg, who oversaw a city that rebuilt itself after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks to become the nation's safest biggest city and leading tourist destination. But Bloomberg's tenure also saw a sharp rise in income inequality and concern about police tactics like stop and frisk, which disproportionately affected communities of color.
"This is a Democratic Party today that's getting more progressive, that wants to address the concerns of working people, that does not accept the status quo," de Blasio said after Bloomberg announced his candidacy. "There's no way in the world we should nominate a billionaire who epitomizes the status quo."
