Ex-NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio won't run for governor

NEW YORK (AP) — Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday he will not run for governor, but will instead devote himself to fighting inequality in New York.

His decision to not enter the Democratic primary further strengthens the campaign of Gov. Kathy Hochul, who already has a commanding start locking up endorsements and fundraising.

“No, I not going to to be running for governor of New York state. But I am going to devote every fiber of my being to fight inequality in the state of New York," the former mayor said in a video posted on Twitter.

De Blasio did not offer more detail about how he plans to fight inequality.
