Hes not had familiarity with some basic city stuff, which is a valid issue in a mayoral race. He also left during the pandemic. De Blasio being from Boston came up in '13. John Liu wasn't labeled an outsider when he ran (though he arguably faced other racial issues).

In that time he raised a million dollars for poor families in the Bronx. He was actively helping NY and his son at the same time. But the narrative is that he's a foreigner in his own home, so let's spin it into him not caring about NYC enough and cowardly leaving.
