New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) will be sworn in for his second term in office by Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the senator's office confirmed on Wednesday.
A spokesman for Sanders told The Hill that de Blasio had asked Sanders to preside over the ceremony. The New York Times first reported the news.
Sanders held an endorsement rally in October for de Blasio, who won reelection handily over Republican opponent Nicole Malliotakis the following month.
Former President Bill Clinton presided over de Blasio's January 2014 inauguration ceremony in front of City Hall.

This doesn't really make any sense to me though. You'd think DeBlasio would be looking to curry favor with somebody from his own state and party. That's how it usually works.
Also, it's kind of a backwards insult to Hillary, isn't it?
