'I still do not think he is the best candidate for our country,' the Democratic presidential candidate noted.
During the interview, the Minnesota senator was also asked about Bloomberg appearing in the upcoming Democratic debates. The Democratic National Committee received significant criticism after it released new guidelines earlier this month for the forthcoming debates that would potentially allow Bloomberg to qualify to be on the debate stage.
Bloomberg, who is worth about $60 billion, has foregone accepting grassroots contributions, choosing to self-fund his presidential campaign. The previous DNC debate qualifications required candidates to meet polling thresholds, in addition to securing a specified number of contributions from across the country.
As Bloomberg has recently donated a sizable sum to the DNC, many raised concerns that he had attempted to buy his way onto the debate stage. But the DNC has insisted this was not the case. Thus far, Bloomberg has not reached the polling requirements or won any delegates to qualify for the debates., referring to the hundreds of millions Bloomberg has spent on television ads.
"We will not create the energy and excitement we need to defeat Trump if that candidate pursued, advocated for, and enacted, racist policies like stop-and-frisk, which caused communities of color in his city to live in fear," Sanders said during a Nevada event. He again took aim at Bloomberg on Sunday, tweeting:"Billionaires shouldn't be able to buy elections in the United States of America."
