Former New York City Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg is expected to file to appear on Alabama’s presidential primary ballot for 2020, according to several reports on Thursday.
CNN and the New York Times reported that Bloomberg is filing in order to meet Alabama’s deadline on Friday to enter the primary race, though he has not made a final decision as to whether he will actually join the race.
According to the Times, the billionaire has sent staffers to Alabama to get the petition signatures needed to qualify for the state’s primary.
“We now need to finish the job and ensure that Trump is defeated, but Mike is increasingly concerned that the current field of candidates is not well positioned to do that,” Howard Wolfson, one of Bloomberg’s advisers, told the Times.
Oh, that’s just fucking great.
Another sign the plutocrats are scared out of their minds by Elizabeth Warren. I doubt he’d be doing this if he thought Biden had it wrapped up. If Biden does win the primary, I imagine Bloomberg will drop out. It’s just another billionaire hedge.
But it’s appalling, after this ordeal we’re living through, that they’d rather have Trump than Warren.
“We now need to finish the job and ensure that Trump is defeated, but Mike is increasingly concerned that the current field of candidates is not well positioned to do that,”
Narcissist much?
So, another lying billionaire is breaking his promise not to run for President. That should be the talking point for every other Democrat in the race (including Steyer who is irony impaired)
I think it’s a sign that Putin has given up on Gabbard and is running Bloomberg instead.
Or maybe he’ll now have two stooges in the race.
In fact, maybe this was his plan all along!
