NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio plans to announce a tax reform plan in Wednesday night's debate that he'll tout as the most aggressive tax proposal of any presidential candidate in the race, according to spokesperson Jaclyn Rothenberg.
The taxes would bring in an additional $1 trillion a year, she told CBS News.
He "would go farther than any other 2020 candidate to reshape society", Rothenberg said in a statement that took aim at progressive Sens. Elizabeth Warren's and Bernie Sanders' own tax plans.
De Blasio, who has been pitching himself as a candidate looking out for working people, has struggled to this point to attract attention amid the popularity of better-known populist candidates like Warren and Sanders.
