Bloomberg has not officially made any announcement.
No links to an actual declaration?? I assume you are guessing.
Guessing is best left for Trump.

When I wrote the previous post, on guessing, I could not find any validation.
Now, minutes later, it comes pouring in, on Reuters, AP and print news sources.

You must be clairvoyant. or a senior campaign staffer/researcher.

Bloomberg endorsing Biden might show that Bloomberg is still planning to spend his money on defeating Trump.
this is going to get interesting...
