Michael Bloomberg (might run)
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg filed paperwork to qualify for the Democratic presidential primary in Alabama, although he has not officially decided to run.
“I know what it takes to run a winning campaign, and every day when I read the news, I grow more frustrated by the incompetence in the Oval Office,” Bloomberg wrote in March. “I know we can do better as a country.”
He added, “And I believe I would defeat Donald Trump in a general election. But I am clear-eyed about the difficulty of winning the Democratic nomination in such a crowded field.”
Bloomberg has floated the idea of a presidential run for several years, but initially bowed out of the 2020 election when former Vice President Joe Biden made it clear he would run.
