I'm also recognizing I made mistakes," de Blasio said. "I want to do better in the future. I want to learn from those mistakes. And it’s been a humbling experience at times, but it’s been a healthy experience and the bottom line is I’m filled with gratitude today, truly for all the good in New York City."De Blasio’s decision to step away from electoral politics comes after two terms as mayor and a failed presidential bid in 2020.
