‘Real Housewives’ Star Barbara Kavovit Drops Out Of New York City Mayor’s Race

On Thursday, Barbara Kavovit announced she was dropping out as a candidate for New York’s next mayor.

The former Real Housewives Of New York star announced her exit from the mayoral race after five months on Instagram.

She said the experience was “amazing, positive, and enlightening” and was “endorsing the next best person to be Mayor of (New York City), Kathryn Garcia,” because she “did not plan enough time in advance to pursue [her] mayoral race successfully.”

Though her campaign was unsuccessful this round, Kavovit said she might try again in the future. “Don’t count me out, I’ll be running the same job in four years,” she said.
