Former mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, will not race for US presidential 2020. He announced this yesterday in a guest post for Bloomberg News. Recently, among other star investor Warren Buffet had promised his support for Bloomberg.
Billionaire Bloomberg, who was rumored to be running for the Democrats, wrote that he had never made a secret of what he considered US President Donald Trump was „a threat to our country.“ He supported the Democrats with more than $ 100 million in the Midterms last fall, Bloomberg continued.
He was also sure that he could beat Trump in the election campaign. „Many people have urged me to run for office,“ wrote Bloomberg. But he no longer wanted to „talk“ but finally „do“. Therefore, he decided to focus on, among other things, „clean energy“ and gun violence in the US.
Bloomberg: „While there is no higher honor than holding the office of President, my highest duty as a citizen is to help the country in the best way I can best.“
