Official: Michael Bloomberg enters the battle for the White House

"I'm running for president to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America," the billionaire said

 

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is in the running for the Democratic nomination for US President, AFP reports.

"I'm running for president to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America," the billionaire said on his website.

Bloomberg's $ 30 million ad campaign has already flooded the US media. If he is nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate, he will face incumbent Donald Trump in the election next year.

77-year-old Michael Bloomberg joined the Democratic Party last year. Before that, he had been a Republican for years, then a non-party, the DPA notes.

Days ago, Bloomberg said that if he ran for president of the United States, he would not accept political donations, and if he won, he would not receive a salary, said his senior adviser, Howard Wolfson, quoted by the Associated Press.

In recent days, Bloomberg has set up election headquarters and has been in the primary election in at least three states. His team has raised over $ 30 million for television ads, which will begin airing today in several leading states that hold primary elections.

Bloomberg's wealth has already become a central topic as the public awaits the formal announcement of his application. His Democratic rivals have already commented negatively on the news of the planned massive advertising campaign, the AP notes.

"All the money for the billionaire campaign will come from his own pocket. How much is Bloomberg willing to pay?

"As long as it takes to beat Donald Trump," said Michael Bloomberg's senior adviser Howard Wolfson, quoted by the Associated Press.
