De Blasio says he won't announce 2020 presidential run this week

New York Daily News

He’s gone from late to overdue.

Mayor Bill de Blasio revealed Monday that he will not announce his 2020 presidential bid this week after all, despite insiders’ widespread belief that he was planning to take the plunge.
