Bubba will do the honors on Bill de Blasio's big day.
President Clinton will swear in the mayor-elect at his Jan. 1 inauguration, the transition team announced Saturday.
And former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — who hired de Blasio
as her campaign manager during her 2000 Senate campaign — will attend
with her husband.
"Chirlane and I couldn't be more excited to have President Clinton
and Secretary Clinton stand with us,” de Blasio said in a statement,
which highlighted that he had worked for President Clinton as a regional
director at HUD.
The Clintons did not endorse any candidate in the Democratic primary,
but became staunch de Blasio supporters in the general election.
Last October, Hillary Clinton headlined a fundraiser for her former
staffer at the Roosevelt Hotel, which helped him raise more than $1
million.
President Clinton will swear in the 109th Mayor of New York using a
bible once owned by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, on loan from
the Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, New York.
