Thirsty Bill de Blasio brings his awkward date life ‘drama’ to election as ex quits campaign
Former New York City mayor Bill de Blasio stepped into Michael Blake’s congressional race, sparking a tense “drama” that ultimately pushed his long‑time campaign adviser Nomiki Konst to quit. Konst cited a clash over strategy—chiefly de Blasio’s endorsement—as the main reason for her departure. “The endorsement caused drama,” one insider told us.
The endorsement, announced in mid‑November after it was revealed that Konst had just cut ties with Blake, seemed to be Blake’s attempt to make amends after the fallout with Komst, who was serving as his spokesperson.
While Blake, a reverend and former state assemblyman, launched his bid on the back of Zohran Mamdani’s victory as mayor, he also targeted Bronx Representative Ritchie Torres, who had refused to back the new mayor during the campaign.
De Blasio’s involvement has been notable. He was seen at least once wearing a “Hot Girls for Zohran” T‑shirt during the mayoral election and has been a vocal supporter of Mamdani.
He helped connect the new mayor with former city staffers, including linking him to budget specialist Dean Fuleihan, appointed as Mamdani’s first deputy mayor.
Neither Blake nor de Blasio has responded to requests for comment on the fallout.
