Bill de Blasio

His Credentials: Mayor of New York and former campaign manager for Hillary Clinton’s 2000 Senate run

His Candidate: Hillary Clinton



His New York Connection: Rented out his house in Brooklyn to move to the mayoral residence in Manhattan

“Hillary is a person who can get things done, kinds of things we need in this country,” he said.

He later added: “When you look at a history of fighting, of knowing how to stand up to powerful interests and having tremendous persistence, those are the characteristics of someone who can achieve change. This is not about theoretical change. This is about actual tangible change that people in this country need.”
