Never in American history has a presidential candidate spent more to get less than Mike Bloomberg, making his buy-a-nomination bid a big bust.
Bloomberg spent $600 million to win as many states as every American who chose not to run: zero. (He has American Samoa to show for it.)
Is it any wonder that billionaire Mike Bloomberg, according to Axios, is suspending his campaign…
Full Statement from Bloomberg Campaign:
“Three months ago, I entered the race for President to defeat Donald Trump. Today, I am leaving the race for the same reason: to defeat Donald Trump — because it is clear to me that staying in would make achieving that goal more difficult.
“I’m a believer in using data to inform decisions. After yesterday’s results, the delegate math has become virtually impossible — and a viable path to the nomination no longer exists. But I remain clear-eyed about my overriding objective: victory in November. Not for me, but for our country. And so while I ill not be the nominee, I will not walk away from the most important political fight of my life.
“I’ve always believed that defeating Donald Trump starts with uniting behind he candidate with the best shot to do it. After yesterday’s vote, it is clear that candidate is my friend and a great American, Joe Biden.
“I’ve known Joe for a very long time. I know his decency, his honesty, and his commitment to the issues that are so important to our country — including gun safety, health care, climate change, and good jobs.
“I’ve had the chance to work with Joe on those issues over the years, and Joe as fought for working people his whole life. Today I am glad to endorse him — and I will work to make him the next President of the United States.
“I am immensely proud of the campaign we ran, the issues we raised, and the sweeping and achievable plans we proposed — including our Greenwood Initiative to right historic wrongs, fight racial inequality, and make the promise of equal opportunity real for the Black communities that have endured centuries of exploitation and discrimination. That work is fundamental to the future of our country — and to the more perfect union that each generation is called to build.
I am deeply grateful to all the Americans who voted for me — and to our incredibly dedicated staff and volunteers all around the country, who knocked on more than two million doors and held 12 million voter conversations in an incredibly short amount of time. No one outworked our team, and I couldn’t be prouder of everyone who was part of it. And I will be forever grateful to all the mayors, local and state legislators, Members of Congress, and many others who believed in me, endorsed my candidacy, and worked hard to unite voters around our vision. Your support and trust sustained me, and I look forward to working with you in the months and years ahead.
We made our campaign slogan a clear, simple promise: Mike will get it done. And I intend to keep working on the “it.” I will continue to work for sensible, common sense policy solutions that can get done. That includes passing gun safety laws that save lives. Fighting climate change. Improving health care. Making college more accessible and affordable. Creating economic opportunity for all. And helping mayors and local leaders across the country who are doing so much important work on all of these issues.
The past few months have been some of the most inspiring of my life, and I want to thank the tens of thousands of Americans, from Maine to California, whom I was privileged to meet — and who every day, with their voices and their ideas, made this campaign such a powerful experience. And I am intent on making it a lasting experience: I want my supporters to stay engaged, stay active and stay committed to our issues. I will be right there with you. And together, we will get it done.“
After Senator Warren destroyed him in the last two debates, his odds collapsed in the prediction markets and last night was a disaster for the self-proclaimed ‘moderate’
Some other things ‘Mike’ said…
- Bloomberg bet Joe Biden was toast. He was wrong.
- Bloomberg bet Democrats would rally around him as the Electable One. He was wrong.
- Bloomberg bet he could buy support with TV ads, while avoiding tough media interviews. He was wrong.
- Bloomberg bet on a brokered convention. That could still happen, but he appears dead wrong that Democrats would turn to him as their savior.
Finally, we are note that Americans may be breathing a sigh of relief after this announcement, as Mitch Nemeth recently noted, “given how drastically the scope of the president’s executive authority has grown, it is undeniable that a President Bloomberg would seek to bypass congressional action.”

There was never a viable path to the nomination for Bloomie. He is a spoiled, rich Jew who likes to boss people around. It would be a toss up whether he or Hi LIAR y were more despised.
It’s extremely obvious that they will pick the least liked , moronic, criminal club member (Biden) to run against Trump which will ensure a second term. Shades of McStain.
It’s all decided per usual. The joos offered a small amount of entertainment to some. Why do we bother?
Boy, was I wrong about this guy. I didn’t know much about him, but I figured that when he entered the race, the fix was in. After all, he was mayor of NYC for 12 years and it seems like if he was able to win NYC, then he could also win everyplace that Hillary had won, plus win the Romney wing of the Republican party. I had no idea of what a total dolt he is.
The thing that really amazes me is that he is a self-made billionaire. Bloomberg and Steyer are both billionaires and I see nothing outstanding AT ALL about either of them. I don’t get it. I guess that he did achieve the objective of effectively getting rid of Sanders and Warren.
I can’t believe that the Dems are really going to go with Biden as their candidate. I am not trying to be cruel, but the man’s mind is like scrambled eggs. In his victory speech, the first thing he did was confuse his wife with his sister! He then went on to mispronounce multiple words and generally reinforce what a complete ding dong he is. It should be fun to watch the rest of this train wreck!
Ding Dong is soooooo kind.
Bloomberg and Steyer are billionaires because they know how to game the system. They’re members of the club.
Who knew there were jews in american samoa?
Bloomberg is a shitstain, and hopefully this is the last we see and especially hear from him. He does not have enough supporters or delegates to materially effect the primaries. Warren on the other hand has, and the majority of her delegates and supporters will probably go to Bernie. While the establishment would like to count Bernie out, he is still in much better shape than his dementia riddled opponent.
Jdog – though we may not see or hear Bloomberg as much after this, he will continue to buy candidates across the U.S. to promote his gun control agenda, so we’ll still have to deal with the consequences of his influence. He is a total egomaniac, and thus will not go quietly into the night.
Norman Thayer returns to the Golden Pond of the White House. When Obama was president, it became painfully clear just how meaningless of an actual job being the President actually is, and just how little competence is required. The figurehead gets changed out every so often, but the gears of the apparatus keep turning in the same direction. Biden will fill the role of zionist deep state puppet perfectly – he doesn’t have to think clearly, he just has to do what he’s told and smile big for the cameras.
Instead of patting-oneself-on-the-shoulder bias confirmation,
one should be honest enough to realize how dangerously close Bloomberg actually got.
That alone should give everyone pause.
Well he certainly has a future in farming.
Not.
