As Twitchy reported, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is expected to announce his run for president Thursday, making him the 24th (?) Democrat to officially join the race for the nomination. His trips to Iowa and South Carolina are sure to get plenty of coverage, and we’re sure a CNN town hall is just around the corner.

But what about John Delaney? As Free Beacon managing editor David Rutz pointed out, not even the ladies of “The View” knew who he was or that he was running.

All the hosts of @Theview finding out in real time who @JohnDelaney is and that he's running for president. "I don't know who he is." —@whoopi "None of us knew you were running for president, bro, and it's our job." —@MeghanMcCain pic.twitter.com/OwyxvlxE1r — David Rutz (@DavidRutz) May 15, 2019

Delaney caught wind of that tweet and said he’d be thrilled to come on “The View” and discuss his platform.

Hey @TheView – my phone is blowing up over this. My campaign is about bringing the country together, real solutions and getting things done. I'm excited for the opportunity to talk about it with you and your audience. https://t.co/8oQhhry2Ts — John Delaney (@JohnDelaney) May 15, 2019

I doubt your phone is blowing up over anything campaign related or otherwise — Weed M.C. (@cum_goblin69) May 15, 2019

Who is this?? — Jason E (@jasoninaustin) May 15, 2019

It’s John Delaney.

They should know who he is if they talk about politics every day. — David Rutz (@DavidRutz) May 15, 2019

They know who Beto O’Rourke is; he just rebooted his campaign on their show after admitting the Vanity Fair cover was a mistake.

He was the first Democrat candidate in the race — T-Covfefe (@MyPlace4U) May 15, 2019

Well, they're ignorant AF. He was the 1st announced candidate, he's got the best policy-set out there & George Will was writing columns about him 6-8 months ago. These women need to do some actual reading. This is why our politics are so idiotic, people like this. — Ed Whistler (@Ed_Whistler) May 15, 2019

nice self-own, @MeghanMcCain : it's my job to know who's running, bro, and I don't know @JohnDelaney, but it's not my fault, dude. meanwhile, a search away on google is this:https://t.co/HneuvZ0ROp — Harry Angstrom (@HarryAngstrom60) May 15, 2019

Delaney has been on Fox News several times. McCain sounds like an idiot pretending to not know who he is while wanting people to take her seriously on politics. This is literally their job to know ? — ROB (@Berrettaman28) May 15, 2019

He’s been on Fox News? The network that has Elizabeth Warren inciting violence against its employees by calling it a “hate-for-profit” racket? Good for him. Now we feel kind of bad that he’s polling at 0 percent.
