As you know, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has entered the large field of Democrats vying for that party’s nomination next year. De Blasio geared up for his first meetings with Iowans this way:

Mayor de Blasio has arrived. In jeans. And they are not “dad” jeans. And he appears to be wearing new shoes. In fact, he looks so put together that I’m wondering if he is working with a stylist. Because this is not the mayor’s usual look. pic.twitter.com/Rt2c6tZkZ1 — Grace Rauh (@gracerauh) May 17, 2019

De Blasio speaks with 10 small family farmers in the living room of a couple in Churdan, Iowa. He’s been in here for about 45 minutes so far. pic.twitter.com/ezKTAalVX9 — Grace Rauh (@gracerauh) May 17, 2019

This is always the “fun” part of the presidential primary season, and it’s just getting started.

He's so authentic. ? — Garrett Baldwin (@GarrettBaldwin) May 17, 2019

LOL.

Are you suggesting he is putting up a facade that is not actually him? https://t.co/J1GfRloSoA — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) May 17, 2019

Skinny jeans the new look in Iowa these days? Somebody’s gotta tell him he ain’t in Park Slope anymore… — MS (@SteckRE) May 17, 2019

Just glad he's dressing for a different job. — Jack E. Taylor (@Spanky_McMuffin) May 17, 2019

This is ridiculously funny https://t.co/VcT82AP0Qx — Rowley Amato (@rowleyamato) May 17, 2019

It's going to be excruciating until he drops out. https://t.co/cXXKzaLtMX — Kristen Richardson (@butwhyevernot) May 17, 2019

Someone please Photoshop him with a beard and a man bun so the look is complete. — Henry Ferlauto (@HTFIII) May 17, 2019

And things are just getting started.
