The Brian Lehrer Show | May 16, 2019

This morning, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced his candidacy for president. Christina Greer, co-host of the New York politics podcast “FAQ NYC” and associate professor of political science at Fordham University, considers how he will make his case to voters across the country, and what New Yorkers think about his campaign.

"The person who makes the last entrance to the party, or to the Ball, sometimes get the most attention." @Dr_CMGreer on the timing of de Blasio's entrance to the 2020 primary field

@Dr_CMGreer says NYC still has "quite a few problems that need to be resolved," but is in good hands with @JumaaneWilliams and @NYCSpeakerCoJo, with de Blasio out on the campaign trail.
