Bloomberg hopes de Blasio is “even better”
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Friday that he hopes the administration of his successor, Bill de Blasio, “is even better” than his own.
De Blasio, a Democrat, won a lopsided victory over Republican Joe Lhota this week and will lead the nation’s largest city after 12 years with Bloomberg at the helm. Bloomberg, an independent, said on his weekly radio show that he hopes for a “seamless transition.”
“Everybody says, ‘Oh, it’s going to be a difficult transition,'” Bloomberg said. “It isn’t.”
