Former New York City mayor and one-time presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg conceded in an op-ed this week that Democrats hiding Biden’s cognitive decline wasn’t a good idea.
Bloomberg suggested that Democrats “might ask themselves how exactly they lost to Trump,” who he called “an ailing 78-year-old who much of the country despises.”
“It probably wasn’t great to cover up President Joe Biden’s infirmities until they became undeniable on live TV,” Bloomberg wrote in the op-ed.
Bloomberg made the comments in his op-ed titled Once Again, America Needs to Deal With Donald Trump.
From Bloomberg:
Democrats, for their part, might ask themselves how exactly they lost to Trump, an ailing 78-year-old who much of the country despises. It probably wasn’t great to cover up President Joe Biden’s infirmities until they became undeniable on live TV. It wasn’t ideal that party elders replaced him with Harris, a nominee who had received no electoral votes and had failed decisively in a previous presidential run.
In private conversations, Bloomberg reportedly told associates that he was not impressed with Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris — but he still donated $50 million to her campaign.
