Bloomberg tweets about leaving the race and endorsing Biden





Three months ago, I entered the race to defeat Donald Trump. Today, I'm leaving for the same reason. Defeating Trump starts with uniting behind the candidate with the best shot to do it. It's clear that is my friend and a great American, @JoeBiden.



I'm immensely proud of the campaign we ran. I'm deeply grateful to all the Americans who voted for me, and to our dedicated staff and volunteers. I want you to stay engaged, active, and committed to our issues. I will be right there with you. And together, we will get it done.

Bloomberg is like "Ok".....

Here Joe...



Bloomberg is a smart man and a man who looks at facts and figures. He saw clearly there is no path to victory and the money he spent was a drop in the bucket for him. He always stated his main goal was to defeat Donald Trump and leave his staff and offices and money for the nominee to take on Trump.

Bernie said straight out he didn't want the money. Bloomberg looks at the facts and figures that Sanders has no way of beating Trump and also damaging the down ballot votes for Congress and State offices.

So he kept his word and he is keeping his promise.

And now he will help the Democrat who can defeat Trump.

Trump and GOP should be terrified right now..

and I don't mean pride either. Clearly one candidate's ego is what drives him, not unity or what is best for the country as a whole in this very important election.
