Disappointed with the leading Democratic candidates in the 2020 pack, Mike Bloomberg is once again considering a run for president, sources tell The Post.
“He thinks Biden is weak and [Bernie] Sanders and Warren can’t win,” said a source familiar with Bloomberg’s apparent about-face, which comes just months after the three-term New York City mayor took his name out of consideration.
“Mike will be making a decision quickly,” said another source close to the media mogul as other sources said the decision to jump into the crowded Democratic field could come within the next few days.
Bloomberg believes the dynamics of the race have changed on the Democratic Party side, with moderate frontrunner Joe Biden stumbling and anti-corporate candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) gaining steam.
“Trump will get re-elected if Elizabeth Warren is the nominee. That’s not something any Democrat would want,” a Bloomberg insider said. “[Therefore] Mike was encouraged to take another look and reassess the race.”

Isn’t he older than Hillary and Joe combined ?
Insanity ! This is all they’ve got?
People were saying that Obama decimated the Dem party, I’m starting to believe it.
How’s he gonna get in the race now?
He doesn’t qualify in any polls, so he won’t qualify for any of the official debates ... that means he HAS to run as a 3rd-party candidate
... and then suck away Dem votes like Perot did in 92 ...
So Pres. Trump gets re-elected easily!
NO SODA FOR YOU!
Bloomberg would probably do a better than the other clowns in the general election, but the supporters of Biden, Warren, Sanders, etc. are not going to just move aside because this boob thinks he should be the nominee. He'd really have to work at it, and he's too old and burnt at this point.
Hopefully, his rejection by the Democrats will inspire him to run as a third party candidate, or support somebody who does.
Run, Forrest. RUN!
would’t he just split the Biden Vote...? good for Warren?
[“He thinks Biden is weak ]
Well, he’s correct about that.
[ and [Bernie] Sanders and Warren can’t win,” ]
Well, he’s correct about that, too.
Yep he wants to limit our soda sizes. He’s a nanny stater.
Bloomberg isn’t running, he’s just considering running. Nothing will come of it.
Never really Presidential material( which does qualify him as a Democrat) and he waited too long. Dreams and delusions die hard.
He’s 77, about Biden’s age.
I honestly can’t think of anyone I’d rather not be President.
Actually, though he’s a ZERO on the 2nd amendment and wants to be everybody’s father, he was a decent mayor.
He actually said in an interview once that whites were OVER TARGETED by cops if one looks at the crime stats and who commits them.
How can you be so right and bold on one thing and so IDIOTIC and ASININE on others?!?!?
He’s pretty boring and I doubt he can draw like Trump and what’s his energy level.
I’ll keep my Pepsi doses, thank you...
So it’s going to come down to Bloomberg versus Skunk Cabbage for the Democrat nomination. That should be FUN to watch!
Go for it, Skippy!
He looks like a decent mayor NOW anybody would after Blasio!!!!
