BILL DE BLASIO

Mayor of New York City

State: New York

Age: 58

Claims to fame: He leads America's largest city, where he has expanded full-time preschool and has used his multiracial family (his wife is African American) to attack Joe Biden as being "out of step with the values of the modern Democratic Party."

Biggest weaknesses: No big-city mayor has ever become president. He apologized for quoting Argentinian communist guerrilla Che Guevara in Miami. A poll found most New Yorkers say he shouldn't run for president and was in Iowa during a recent blackout.

Miami moment: He attacked big corporations and challenged Beto O’Rourke for being unwilling to scrap America's private-insurance system for a single-payer program.

Candidate visits to Michigan: None
