Hillary for Mayor?
It's been reported repeatedly over the last couple of months that Hillary Clinton is seriously considering challenging DeBlasio in the NYC mayoral election in November, 2017.
However, Clinton herself has not confirmed those reports.
While a poll after the 2016 election did show Clinton leading De Blasio 49 percent to 30 percent, a recent survey in March revealed most New Yorkers don't want Clinton to jump into the race--with 58 percent of likely voters saying she should stay out. https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/03.../21896689/
But it's unclear how quick Clinton will be to fully embrace polling following the 2016 presidential election if she is considering a mayoral run.
Clinton should do as she sees fit and let voters decide, of course. Personally, I'd rather not see her challenge one of her biggest and most vocal presidential election supporters. I don't think she'd win.
