Now, however, the man who once <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/09\/23\/nyregion\/a-mayoral-hopeful-now-de-blasio-was-once-a-young-leftist.html\">said<\/a> he was an advocate for \u201cdemocratic socialism\u201d has set his sights on running in New York\u2019s 10th Congressional District, which is currently represented by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur neighborhoods need help as we recover from Covid.

In late April, the New York State Court of Appeals said that the congressional maps drawn by the Democratic majority in the state legislature violated the state\u2019s constitution by failing to follow constitutional procedure and violating a ban on gerrymandering, The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/new-yorks-highest-court-strikes-down-democrats-gerrymandered-congressional-state-senate-maps\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The maps are currently being redrawn under the supervision of New York Special Master Jonathan Cervas, a political science professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Cervas\u2019 updated maps place Nadler in New York\u2019s 12th Congressional District, which is currently represented by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), meaning the two incumbents will face each other in a primary.<\/p>\n<p>Nadler, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/news\/politics\/de-blasio-launches-exploratory-committee-to-run-for-congress\/3694666\/\">according to NBC New York<\/a>, has claimed that the new maps are also unconstitutional, but at the moment he will face Maloney in a primary contest set for August 23.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the day before de Blasio officially announced he was forming an exploratory committee, he <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/17\/bill-de-blasio-eyeing-run-at-newly-drawn-ny-seat-nadler-has-left-behind\/\">reportedly<\/a> told state Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein (D-Borough Park) that \u201che is committed to running in the race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the conversation that I had with him earlier today, he is running for Congress in the new NY-10 congressional district,\u201d Eichenstein told the outlet. \u201cHe called me earlier this afternoon. While I will keep our conversation private, I will confirm that we spoke for over 20 minutes about his decision to run for this district.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bill-de-blasio-teases-a-run-for-congress-and-new-york-is-not-amused\">reported<\/a> at the time, some former constituents of de Blasio expressed their displeasure with the news that he might soon represent them again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust when you thought he was out \u2026ex-NYC Mayor\u00a0@BilldeBlasio\u00a0told a state lawmaker \u2014 who told The Post \u2014 he plans to run for New York\u2019s newly drawn 10th Congressional district \u2014 the seat that\u2019ll likely stretch from Lower Manhattan into Brooklyn,\u201d the New York Post\u2019s City Hall bureau chief tweeted in response to the outlet\u2019s article on the subject.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is preparing to run for congress, announcing on Wednesday that he has formed an Exploratory Committee for New York\u2019s redrawn 10th Congressional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":126,"featured_media":1485531,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1485513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1485513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1485513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1485513\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1485531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1485513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1485513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1485513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
