Michael Bloomberg qualified for Wednesday's Democratic debate. And his 2020 contenders are not happy with his candidacy on a variety of fronts.
WASHINGTON – Billionaire and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg's qualification for a Democratic debate was not greeted warmly on Tuesday by at least one Democratic rival.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., responded to the news of Bloomberg making the debate by tweeting,"It’s a shame Mike Bloomberg can buy his way into the debate. But at least now primary voters curious about how each candidate will take on Donald Trump can get a live demonstration of how we each take on an egomaniac billionaire." Bloomberg's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Story continuesThe two campaigns have been sparring the past few days over Bloomberg's campaign calling President Donald Trump “Bernie’s new bro,” a hit at the dismissive nickname for some Sanders supporters, and pointing to Trump's tweets alleging the Democratic National Committee has it out for Sanders.More: 2020 Democratic presidential primary hopefuls take aim at red Texas as Super Tuesday looms.....Mini is illegally buying the Democrat Nomination.
Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg said Sunday that Bloomberg will have to respond to reports of sexist remarks made in the past.

Is Elizabeth Warren Being Erased?A new narrative to explain for the decline of Elizabeth Warren’s campaign is emerging after her disappointing results in New Hampshire, where she finished in fourth. Warren, according to her campaign and supporters, is being erased by mainstream media outlets and cable news, the same outlets that last summer and fall covered her glowingly as she rose in the polls and released plan after ambitious plan.
