Michael R. Bloomberg is actively preparing to enter the Democratic presidential primary and is expected to file paperwork this week designating himself as a candidate in at least one state with an early filing deadline, people briefed on Mr. Bloomberg’s plans said.

Wow, what an entitled prick. Hope he goes down in flames, but the mainstream media will probably prop him up so we'll see about that...

I don’t see any constituency for him besides “anti-Progressive” soccer moms, and I suspect that these voters will vote for Biden.

Think about all of the money he could be donating to charitable causes that he'll instead spend getting 1% of the vote or less in Iowa.

So Bernie can defeat 2 billionaires in the primary and a billionaire in the general election? Bring it on.

Also relevant is that the first filing deadline, Alabama, is tomorrow.

Potentially endorsed barring his trade policy and his eagerness to continue unnecessary programs from his NYC days (soda tax, etc)

Jesus. Warren and Sanders must be licking their chops at this news.

Bloomberg playing some kind of nemesis for Sanders and Warren could only be good thing for them. How stupid are these people?

What exactly is the logic here? Democratic primary voters are growing disenchanted with the 76 year-old white, centrist front runner, so seizing on this perceived opening, the 77 year-old white, centrist man is going to try to fill the void?

Biden sucks at running for president yet none of the centrists have been able to capitalize on that. Might as well try a new face(Bloomberg logic).

Congratulations, Tulsi Gabbard: you're now the second worst possible opponent for Donald Trump.

irrational reactions aside he said he didn't run because Biden was doing too well & he's clearly looked at the data and seen Biden falling- although god knows what this does other than waste money?

Although TBH with the amount of money he pumped into the midterms I won't be as damning as everyone else.

I wonder if this means we're getting some news drop about Biden shortly.

Endorsed, and regardless of his base issues, he has resources no one else can touch. There's billionaires like Steyer, and there's BILLIONAIRES who can dominate the field through sheer presence.

 Warren really has these guys terrified.

 Bloomberg won't do a thing except play spoiler. He will also have to answer for his support and dogged defense of millions of illegal 'stop and frisk' incidents against innocent African American men during his tenure as NYC Mayor and he won't have answers.

He'll split the billionaire vote with Tom Steyer.

Biden is still ahead in the national polls and in 4 early states on average. Pete is surging in Iowa. But looks like some people expected that in this day and age a centrist would run away with Dem nomination 3 months before first votes are cast. Delusional.

I honestly think Bloomberg would be a better general election candidate than Biden. Bloomberg is a decent public speaker and has pretty good record as Mayor.

At first I thought it was rust, but maybe Biden really is a doddering old man. So Bloomberg > Biden.

Of course they will. 99% of the media are pro-choice Republicans like Bloomberg.
