New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio believes that Pres. Trump's series of tweets attacking Rep. Elijah Cummings and the city of Baltimore are a way for the president 'to distract people from the larger reality of this country.'
Democratic presidential candidate and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said that former Vice President Joe Biden represents the status quo and that Americans"want to break out of that status quo," in what could be a preview of de Blasio's strategy at this week's upcoming presidential debate.
He added,"What I fear about Joe Biden ... he has too much of a track record for being part of the status quo that actually Americans don't want anymore, they want to break out of that status quo." De Blasio said that he was able to get a lot of information out at the first debate and"got a really strong response."
"The real issue in this country is that working people are stuck economically," de Blasio said during an interview on"This Week" with ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. He added that Trump"made the rich, richer" with tax cuts for the wealthy and"he wants to keep the attention off that."
