Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg entered the Democratic presidential race at 6% in a recent poll; topping fading challenger Kamala Harris but falling far-behind the top-tier candidates across the country.
“The survey released on Monday found that support for the former mayor ticked up from 3 percent to 6 percent among likely Democratic voters and Democratic-leaning independents,” reports The Hill.
The poll shows former Vice President Joe Biden in the lead with 31% of support from Democratic voters; followed by Sen. Bernie Sanders at 15%, Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 10%, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 9%.

BLOOMBERG BOOTED: Trump Campaign Bans Bloomberg Reporters from Future Events
President Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign revoked the press credentials of reporters working for Bloomberg News Monday; citing the organization’s decision to investigate the White House while ignoring their owner.
“Bloomberg News announced last week that it wouldn’t investigate its namesake owner, Mike Bloomberg, while he runs for president, or any other Democratic presidential candidate for that matter, but would continue to investigate President Trump,” reports Fox News.
“The decision by Bloomberg News to formalize preferential reporting policies is troubling and wrong,” campaign manager Brad Parscale wrote in a statement. “Bloomberg News has declared that they won’t investigate their boss or his Democrat competitors, many of whom are current holders of high office, but will continue critical reporting on President Trump.”
“Since they have declared their bias openly, the Trump campaign will no longer credential representatives of Bloomberg News for rallies or other campaign events,” Parscale wrote. “We will determine whether to engage with individual reporters or answer inquiries from Bloomberg News on a case-by-case basis. This will remain the policy of the Trump campaign until Bloomberg News publicly rescinds its decision.”
