Michael Bloomberg ‘still looking at’ a presidential run … but only if Biden is out
The former New York mayor’s attitude towards wealth is staunchly opposite Elizabeth Warren’s, with whom he’s repeatedly clashed
Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg is at it again – teasing a presidential run. At 77, he won’t even be the oldest in the field, and the billionaire is certainly not short of funding to be able to throw his hat in the ring.
Over the past several weeks, he’s signaled renewed interest in the democratic nomination, telling friends and associates he’s “still looking at” running for president. But he has cautioned he’d only join the race if former vice-president Joe Biden’s faltering centrist campaign takes a decisive hit or pulls out early in primary season, according to a report by CNBC.
