Michael Bloomberg qualifies for February 19 Democratic presidential debate in Nevada, putting him on the same stage as his rivals in the race for the party's nomination for the first time
WASHINGTON - Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Tuesday qualified for this week’s Democratic presidential debate in Nevada, putting him on the same stage as his rivals for the first tie in the race for the party’s nomination.
A late entry to the race, Bloomberg, 78, has risen in public opinion polls as he pours money from his estimated $60 billion personal fortune into a national campaign, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on television ads. Bloomberg had support from 19% of the people surveyed in a NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released on Tuesday.
At least five other candidates have qualified for Wednesday’s debate ahead of Nevada’s Feb. 22 caucuses: Biden, Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar, and former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Pete Buttigieg. Bloomberg apologized for that policy, known as “stop and frisk,” just before announcing he was running for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The Post also chronicled numerous discrimination lawsuits filed against Bloomberg LP, a major provider of news and financial information, over the last three decades.
