Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announces he's running for Congress

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Friday that he will run for Congress in a newly drawn district that includes parts of Manhattan and his home borough of Brooklyn, and he soon drew a high-profile primary challenger in Democratic Rep. Mondaire Jones.
De Blasio left office less than six months ago after serving two terms as mayor. He had previously considered a run for governor before deciding against it. But with the jumbling of New York's redistricting process, which has seen one congressional map drawn by state Democratic lawmakers struck down by New York's highest court and a new one, drawn by a court-appointed "special master," now approved, de Blasio saw his opportunity.
President Joe Biden warned against a streak of “semi-isolationism” in the US as he stressed the importance of alliances during a symbolic visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery on Sunday, honoring the thousands of Americans who died in World War I at a site former President Donald Trump skipped during a 2018 visit to Paris.
Looking to shore up Latino votes in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden is on the verge of soon following up last week’s executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with another move focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to American citizens and without criminal records.
