23. He was born in Uganda so he'll never be president

It’s remarkable he defeated everyone for mayor of NYC. Now he tackles the messy biz of governing. We’ll see how that goes.

Personally though I’ll have fun watching him figure it all out - a lot like AOC.

Perhaps he’ll be Governor or ride to a national cabinet position. Dems are lucky to have him on our side. We need good communicators
