1 Bloomberg Suspends His Presidential Campaign

Michael Bloomberg ended his presidential campaign yesterday and endorsed Joe Biden. Bloomberg spent hundreds of millions of dollars, of his own money, to fund his late entry into the race. He was viable in many states on Super Tuesday but didn't win any. He spoke with Biden yesterday and said, "I’ve always believed that defeating Donald Trump starts with uniting behind the candidate with the best shot to do it. After yesterday’s vote, it is clear that candidate is my friend and a great American, Joe Biden." After Bloomberg dropped out, President Trump tweeted that he "could have told him long ago that he didn’t have what it takes, and he would have saved himself a billion dollars, the real cost. Now he will pour money into Sleepy Joe’s campaign, hoping to save face. It won’t work!" He does plan on keeping his massive staff intact and will direct them to unite their efforts in support of whoever the Democratic nominee will be.
