As Twitchy reported, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is expected to announce his run for president Thursday, making him the 24th (?) Democrat to officially join the race for the nomination. His trips to Iowa and South Carolina are sure to get plenty of coverage, and we’re sure a CNN town hall is just around the corner.
But what about John Delaney? As Free Beacon managing editor David Rutz pointed out, not even the ladies of “The View” knew who he was or that he was running.
All the hosts of @Theview finding out in real time who @JohnDelaney is and that he's running for president.
"I don't know who he is." —@whoopi

Delaney caught wind of that tweet and said he’d be thrilled to come on “The View” and discuss his platform.
Hey @TheView – my phone is blowing up over this. My campaign is about bringing the country together, real solutions and getting things done. I'm excited for the opportunity to talk about it with you and your audience. https://t.co/8oQhhry2Ts

I doubt your phone is blowing up over anything campaign related or otherwise

Who is this??

It’s John Delaney.
They should know who he is if they talk about politics every day.

They know who Beto O’Rourke is; he just rebooted his campaign on their show after admitting the Vanity Fair cover was a mistake.
He was the first Democrat candidate in the race

Well, they're ignorant AF. He was the 1st announced candidate, he's got the best policy-set out there & George Will was writing columns about him 6-8 months ago. These women need to do some actual reading. This is why our politics are so idiotic, people like this.

nice self-own, @MeghanMcCain : it's my job to know who's running, bro, and I don't know @JohnDelaney, but it's not my fault, dude.
meanwhile, a search away on google is this:https://t.co/HneuvZ0ROp

Delaney has been on Fox News several times. McCain sounds like an idiot pretending to not know who he is while wanting people to take her seriously on politics. This is literally their job to know ?

He’s been on Fox News? The network that has Elizabeth Warren inciting violence against its employees by calling it a “hate-for-profit” racket? Good for him. Now we feel kind of bad that he’s polling at 0 percent.
