De Blasio has been teasing his potential White House run for months; speaking at key battleground states like Iowa and New Hampshire.
The far-left leader was publicly mocked this week during his ‘Green New Deal’ rally inside Trump Tower, with protesters blasting De Blasio as the ‘Worst Mayor Ever.’
His plan calls for a series of controversial proposals across the nation’s largest city; including a ban on “classic” construction materials like steel and glass, as well as a 50% reduction of red-meat purchased by the local government.

“We are making the Green New Deal come alive here in New York City,” said de Blasio. “It’s three very basic ideas. One, the biggest source of emissions in New York City is buildings.”
“We are going to ban the classic glass and steel skyscrapers which are incredibly inefficient,” he continued. “If someone wants to build one of those things they can take a whole lot of steps to make it energy efficient, but we’re not going to allow what we’ve seen in the past.”
