Kieffer talks with Brigid Bergin, City Hall and politics reporter for WNYC in New York City, about Democratic presidential candidate and Mayor of New York Bill de Blasio. Bergin gives insight to de Blasio's time in office, his dedication to progressive policies, and his confrontational style of leadership. Bergin also talks about how even de Blasio supporters in New York would rather have him continue as mayor than as president.
