Buffett: It would be a 'real mistake' for Schultz to run for president
Warren Buffett already knows which billionaire he likes for president.
Buffett said he would get behind former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who hasn't declared yet that he's running for office in 2020.
But he's not keen to support billionaire former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who also hasn't declared, but has said he's considering running as a centrist independent.

Buffett didn't address any of Schultz's qualifications or his views on issues, but said he believes that Schultz would hurt the Democratic nominee if he ran as an independent. He said that would be a "real mistake."
"I think generally third party candidates are going to hurt one side or the other and I think they're more likely to hurt the side that they favor because they're closer to that view," Buffett said. "I hope no third party candidate runs that pulls any significant amount of votes. I think third party candidates can thwart the will of the people."
