De Blasio had announced he was running for Congress on May 20, intending to compete to become the Democratic nominee for the newly-drawn 10th Congressional District.
"I'm very proud of having led this city out of the worst of the COVID crisis," de Blasio said in an appearance on MSNBC at the time. "I'm ready right now to serve and address the issues that are so deep in communities in Brooklyn and Manhattan."
De Blasio served as Mayor of New York City from 2014 to 2021, when he was replaced by current Mayor Eric Adams. He considered running for governor of New York but opted not to challenge incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul. He also had a short-lived run for president in 2019, which lasted two months longer than this year's congressional campaign.
Recent polling had placed de Blasio near the bottom of the field of 13 Democrats seeking to represent New York's 10th Congressional District. Other candidates in running in the Aug. 23 primary include U.S. Rep. Mondaire Jones, who currently represents a Hudson Valley seat but decided to make a 2022 campaign further south in the metropolis, along with New York City Councilwoman Carlina Rivera, former Rep.
Rep. Jerry Nadler represents New York's 10th district now but will no longer live in it after redistricting.
