Bloomberg Is Officially Running for President

Michael Bloomberg announced his presidential bid with a video.

New York Times: “At 77, Mr. Bloomberg is one of the oldest candidates in the race, and like Mr. Biden and Mr. Sanders he would become the oldest person ever to assume the presidency if elected. Mr. Bloomberg is also, with Mr. Sanders, one of two major candidates for the nomination who are Jewish, and either would be the first Jewish president if elected.”

“Should Mr. Bloomberg become the Democratic nominee, it would set up a general election between two party-switching moguls from New York City, though Mr. Bloomberg’s fortune is larger than Mr. Trump’s many times over.”
