BOSTON (AP) — Josh Kraft, the son of the New England Patriots’ proprietor, introduced Thursday he’s dropping his bid to unseat Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, days after advancing to the November poll.
He introduced the transfer on WCVB-TV after Kraft and Wu bested two challengers to advance throughout a preliminary election Tuesday.

Regardless of spending tens of millions of his personal cash on the race, Kraft struggled to discover a message that may resonate with voters amid the recognition of Wu. She is Boston’s first feminine and Asian mayor and has been bolstered partially by her protection of town in opposition to the Trump administration.
Kraft instructed supporters in a letter supplied to The Related Press that the election had by no means been about him or Wu.
“We could spend the next eight weeks politicking—with harmful rhetoric or nasty attack ads. Or we could get back to what really matters – the issues that impact Bostonians each and every day. The work I have focused on for my whole career,” Kraft wrote.
Kraft stated the choice was the best transfer “during a time in America where we need to come closer together despite all our differences, instead of igniting divisiveness that pulls us further apart.”
