Michael Bloomberg has called it quits on his race to become the President of America and defeat Donald Trump. After getting his first win in American Samao and spending an estimated $500M on his campaign, he's decided to pull out of the race; instead, endorsing his long-time friend Joe 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," he wrote on Twitter. "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."
Biden immediately returned thanked Bloomberg for the co-sign while praising Bloomberg's "tireless work on everything from gun safety reform to climate change."
Trump was instantly summoned at the mention of his name on Twitter, blasting "Mini Mike" for his endorsement of Biden and trying to run against him. "Mini Mike Bloomberg just “quit” the race for President. I could have told him long ago that he didn’t have what it takes, and he would have saved himself a billion dollars, the real cost. Now he will pour money into Sleepy Joe’s campaign, hoping to save face. It won’t work," Trump tweeted.
Adding, "Mini Mike Bloomberg will now FIRE Tim O’Brien, and all of the fools and truly dumb people who got him into this MESS. This has been the worst, and most embarrassing, experience of his life...and now on to Sleepy Joe!"
With Sanders and Biden as the two likeliest candidates to go against Trump, we'll see what the outcome will be.
Mike Bloomberg Footage Joking About Father, Son Overdose Death Resurfaces
Mike Bloomberg is in hot water over a resurfaced clip of him making fun of a father, son duo who overdosed on heroin.
2020 Presidential candidate and former mayor of New York, Mike Bloomberg, is catching heat for some disturbing comments he made about a father and son who passed away from an accidental overdose. On a political panel uploaded by the Bermuda Broadcasting company in March 2019, Bloomberg referenced a New York Daily News article about the tragic heroin overdoses of 44-year-old Joseph Andrade and his son Carlos in order to demonize the legalization of marijuana.

The ex-Stop-and-Frisk advocate decided it was a good idea to criticize the father, son duo and label them 'not a good family,' due to their struggles with addiction. During a brief segment during the panel, Bloomberg proudly states:
"The New York Post or the Daily News had a picture on the front page where a father and a son, they both OD'd at the same party," he said. "It's not a good family. It's craziness. And then we are going hellbent for whether in this country to legalize marijuana, another addictive drug."
Bloomberg also stated that the majority of America's youth are willing to join the Armed Forces, but only 25% of the population has the ability to read and write and are fit enough to join the military. Of course, with the clip resurfacing, Twitter wasn't having it and went in on the potential future POTUS. Check out some of the Tweets of the masses ripping Michael Bloomberg to shreds below:
