In Bruce’s own words:
“No one is out there thinking ‘Oh please let it be Mike Bloomberg!'”
His Billionaire Status
Another critical factor in Bloomberg’s candidacy is his wealth and the power which money plays in politics. However, this may actually work against Bloomberg, seeing as he will need to rally support from Democrat voters.
Thus far, many left-wing candidates in the 2020 election have maintained strong criticisms of billionaires. This is something which Bruce pointed out on Fox Nation, noting the “evil billionaire” talk often espoused by candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
Just earlier this month, Warren released new campaign mugs mocking “billionaire tears.”

The Timing Factor
Right now, every other Democrat candidate has a head start on Bloomberg regarding timing. Whether primary voters love or hate the current candidates, they’ve had the opportunity to hear from them on debate stages and at various campaign events.
