After
keeping mum during the Democratic primary, Bill and Hillary Clinton are
signaling they are rooting for Bill de Blasio to be the next mayor of
New York City.
The
former president and former secretary of State gave de Blasio their
blessing in a statement issued by their respective spokesmen, Matt
McKenna and Nick Merrill.
"Bill
de Blasio has been a friend to both President Clinton and Secretary
Clinton for many years," the statement says. "They were proud to see him
run a thoughtful, creative campaign about the issues, and they are
behind him as he moves on to the general election as the Democratic
nominee."
