De Blasio was regularly criticized for failing to gain traction in national polls, and he did not qualify for the most recent Democratic debate in Houston.
He announced the end of his campaign Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” declaring that he had “contributed all [he] can” to the Democratic primary.
“I feel like I’ve contributed all I can to this primary election, and it’s clearly not my time, so I’m going to end my presidential campaign,” he said on the program.
De Blasio is currently serving his second term in New York, which is slated to end in 2022.
