Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to forgo 2020 White House bid
- Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will not seek the Democratic nomination for U.S. president in 2020 but will instead launch an effort aimed at combating climate change, he said on Tuesday.
He said he was mindful of the difficulty of prevailing in the Democratic Party nominating primary process, especially given the leftward turn the party has taken in recent years. “Many people have urged me to run,” he wrote. “Some have told me that to win the Democratic nomination, I would need to change my views to match the polls.”
Bloomberg already backs another effort, Beyond Coal, dedicated to shutting down coal-fired power plants. In 2014, the United Nations appointed him the first special envoy for cities and climate change to work with cities globally to combat global warming.
