A Very Tough Path for Independents

Political strategist turned venture capitalist Bradley Tusk did not rule out the possibility that his former boss, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, might run for president in 2020. But Tusk, who managed Bloomberg’s third mayoral campaign, told Axios that the path for independents will be much more difficult in 2020 than it was in 2016.

Said Tusk: “We’re in a moment right now where people are really partisan… I just think people are so polarized right now that an independent in 2020 would be very tough.”
