Citing income inequality as the most pressing issue of our times Mayor de Blasio endorsed Hillary Clinton for President today on 'Morning Joe'

"She has said what she believes in. This is a very sharp progressive platform. I believe she will follow through on it," de Blasio said during an interview with MSNBC's "Morning Joe," adding that Clinton "has the ability to follow through on it."
De Blasio, a progressive champion and the former campaign manager for Clinton, had been holding back his endorsement of the former secretary of state for months. His backing is a blow to Sen. Bernie Sanders, as both de Blasio and the independent Vermont senator hail from the progressive wing of the Democratic party and have focused intensely on issues related to poverty and income inequality.
The New York mayor said he would also "absolutely" campaign for Clinton.
