Lame-duck season is now in full effect.
Mayor de Blasio, who’s serving his last few months in City Hall, said he didn’t feel slighted in the least Monday over not receiving an invitation to the White House to discuss policing hours before his presumptive successor, Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Eric Adams, was set to appear alongside President Biden to opine on the topic.
Ahead of the meeting, Biden had an alternative take on the sensitive question of whether to expand police departments at a time when gun violence is on the rise in several U.S. cities.
Biden suggested cities seeing shooting spikes should use leftover federal coronavirus relief funds to hire more officers and train them in “community policing.”
De Blasio can't say what he did to keep NYC safe from riots, looting theft and gun violence
He should feel slighted.
