Michael Bloomberg is planning a run for the U.S. presidency that would begin as early as next week.
A source with knowledge of company affairs at Bloomberg L.P., told Anadolu Agency that said senior officials at offices worldwide were clearing schedules for meetings to discuss a sudden change in the management structure at the company.
The source, who spoke to AA on condition of anonymity, was not authorized to discuss company matters on the record.
The multibillionaire owner of Bloomberg L.P. is preparing to hand over his responsibilities at the financial data and media company ahead of an announcement after Super Tuesday on March 1, a key date in the nomination process for the Republican and Democratic parties.
Bloomberg was planning to make his announcement on or after Super Tuesday, the source said.

That is great news. It splits the Democrat votes.
He sure won’t siphon any votes from the ‘Pubbies!
Puts NY in play and forces Clinton too spend money she wouldn't otherwise have to.
I wonder, though, what his real purpose is.
My cat would get more votes.
He’ll keep America safe from the scourge of extra large soft drinks! And table salt (the Salty Horror)!
Americans know Bloomberg as the greatest gun-grabber since King George. The below map and link should be a reality check for supporters of gun grabber Bloomberg:

In short, there is no map for a Bloomberg national victory - as an independent or a Democrat substitute for Hillary.
Bloomberg will primarily take votes from Clinton. This makes Mr. Trump a shoe in, IMO.
cigarettes will be 12 bucks a pack and if you sell singles you will be shot.
That assumes that you can still find cigarettes. Cigs, like soft drinks and table salt, will be found on the black market.
He can afford to do anything he wants to.....
How much is Bloomberg worth? $36.5 Billion!
only new york is a pompous enough state to think that it deserves 3 presidential candidates in the general election . . . 4 if you count bernie’s brooklyn birth.
Yep. A son of my old boss is married to one of Bloomberg’s daughters.
He tells me they do it up big time!
Bloomberg is another nanny govt type, essentially an anti-Trump. IMO He would hurt the hildabest far more than he would hurt Trump.
If this happens, it ensures that the Republican will win. Bloomberg’s votes will come 80% from the Dems. Hillary will DEFINITELY lose NY in this scenario.
I’m encouraged that today the USA today general election match up (poll of LVs) shows Trump over hilary.
The biggest POS in the world.
A tsunami starts as a small swell in mid-ocean.
I thought Bloomie was a Clinton Crime Family affiliate and would not run if she got the nomination. After SuperTuesday, Burney will be done.
That picture was definitely taken in Texas.
I like it. He’ll be more effective than Ralph Nader at drawing votes away from Hillary.
