The guy who was the Republican mayor of the City of New York for 12 years isn’t gonna run for President as a Democrat….
Good decision ….
Even with ALL his money?
He has NO Chance of getting the Democratic Presidential nomination….
He WILL supply money to other Democrats though….
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Tuesday that he will not seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, saying that he believes he would better serve the country as a private citizen.
In an op-ed published in Bloomberg News, Bloomberg acknowledged that his path to the Democratic nomination would be narrow, stating that mounting a long-shot campaign for the White House would detract from his work on other issues, such as climate change and gun violence.
“I know there’s much more we can accomplish over the next two years, but only if we stay focused on the work and expand upon it,” he wrote. “And the fact is: A national presidential campaign would limit my ability to do that.”
Bloomberg’s decision not to enter the race for the White House winnows down the pack of would-be contenders considering jumping into an already crowded primary field.
If he had entered the race, Bloomberg likely would have occupied a centrist lane in a primary field that has largely embraced progressive proposals, such as “Medicare for all.”…..
