Former Mayor of New York City, Mike Bloomberg announced his presidential bid, a move he made official after he said he was considering joining the race.
“I’m running for president to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America,” Bloomberg, 77, said in a tweet. “I believe my unique set of experiences in business, government, and philanthropy will enable me to win and lead.”
He shared a video about his ascent from a middle-class family to a business executive to the mayor who led New York City in rebuilding after 9/11. The clip shows a shot of Trump Tower while the narrator states that Bloomberg will make the U.S. a country “where the wealthy will pay more in taxes and the struggling middle class will get their fair share.” Bloomberg’s tweet included a link to his campaign website, Newsweek reported.
“We cannot afford four more years of President Trump’s reckless and unethical actions. He represents an existential threat to our country and our values. If he wins another term in office, we may never recover from the damage,” Bloomberg tweeted.
