President Donald Trump mocked New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio Friday morning after the Democrat ditched his presidential bid.
De Blasio, who had been polling in the single digits, made his announcement with host Joe Scarborough on NBC News’ “Morning Joe.”
“Oh no, really big political news, perhaps the biggest story in years! Part time Mayor of New York City, @BilldeBlasio, who was polling at a solid ZERO but had tremendous room for growth, has shocking dropped out of the Presidential race. NYC is devastated, he’s coming home!” Trump wrote on Twitter.

A Siena College poll showed he is less favorable than Trump in the state of New York, according to the New York Post. De Blasio, whose term as mayor expires in 2021, sunk even lower with 26% approval while the president garnered 35% favorable rating.
The mayor has been polling at zero or 1% in many polls.
