Michael Bloomberg Ends <br />Presidential Bid, Endorses Joe Biden The announcement from the <br />Bloomberg camp follows his poor <br />showing in the Super Tuesday primaries. Michael Bloomberg, via 'The Washington Post' The former NYC mayor won American Samoa, <br />but he was unable to place above third <br />in any of the other 14 states. In an unprecedented self-funded campaign, <br />the billionaire spent $500 million on social media <br />and other forms of ads all across the country. Bloomberg was widely perceived <br />as having performed poorly during his <br />first appearance on a debate stage in Nevada. He ran as a moderate, <br />proclaiming himself as the only Democratic <br />candidate who could beat Donald Trump. After former Vice President Joe Biden's <br />landslide win in South Carolina, and <br />endorsements from former candidates <br />Buttigieg, Klobuchar and O'Rourke, Bloomberg's candidacy <br />failed to come together. He has vowed to continue his <br />financial support of the Democratic <br />effort to defeat Donald Trump in November.
