Bloomberg Builds an All-Star Political Team

January 31, 2019 · 7:33 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Michael Bloomberg is assembling one of the most skilled and experienced campaign teams in Democratic presidential politics. And he might not even run,” the Washington Post reports.

“Bloomberg has retained more than two dozen of the party’s leading operatives and data strategists, some of whom played prominent roles in Barack Obama’s winning presidential campaigns. They are poised to leverage their networks and experience to help the billionaire former New York mayor make inroads with key constituencies across the country.”

“For Bloomberg — who has been a Republican, independent and Democrat — the staffers could be critical as the 76-year-old businessman navigates the modern Democratic Party, giving him links to blocs and stakeholders who may be wary of his past and politics.”
