De Blasio On 2020 Decision: 'Not The Week'
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Mayor Bill de Blasio says, despite reports, he will not be making an announcement about a possible run for president just yet.
"Not the night and not the week," he said Monday in an interview with NY1. "There was a story that assumed a specific thing that never was and we said, 'you can't have an announcement before there's a decision.'"

Last week, the mayor said he would decide sometime this month whether he will be joining the long list of candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for president.
"I, in making any decision, have to weigh family, have to weigh what I think is in the interest of New York City, the ability to get things done for New York City," de Blasio said in a radio interview.
