New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is dropping out of the 2020 presidential campaign.

De Blasio revealed his decision Friday morning on MSNBC's "Morning Joe"

De Blasio, 58, launched his candidacy in May with the central campaign message "Working People First," becoming at the time the 24th Democrat to attempt to take on President Donald Trump in next year’s election.

The mayor, who is barred from seeking a third four-year term in New York in 2021, has struggled to build a national profile, eclipsed by progressive U.S. senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

He said he would support whoever wins the Democratic Party's nomination
