Mike Bloomberg has officially surpassed Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., in presidential endorsements from members of Congress and governors after his debut on the debate stage Wednesday night.
With the Nevada caucuses set for Saturday, Warren still does not have any major endorsements from politicians in the Silver State. Bloomberg will not be on the ballot in Nevada.
Joe Biden is the sole Democratic candidate with formal support from a Nevadan. Rep. Steven Horsford, the Democratic member for NV-04, endorsed the former Vice President on February 14. Biden leads the pack with a whopping 49 official backings from members of the House and Senate, along with governors of several states.
Bloomberg picked up three endorsements Thursday following his first debate appearance, stealing Warrens second place spot. The former New York City mayor has a total of 17 endorsements 16 from U.S. Representatives and one from Rhode Islands Democratic governor.
Warren now takes the bronze for endorsements with 14 in total.
Bloombergs latest endorsements came from Democratic Reps. Josh Gottheimer, Pete Aguilar, and Nita Lowey of New Jersey, California, and New York respectively.

These endorsements mean something. They are coming from superdelegates - representatives and governors. So Bloomberg is getting more than just friendly nods. Hes getting second ballot votes.
They're doing it again.
Its easy to buy an endorsement—Heck, If he paid me $5,000 I will endorse him! I can be bought—I am a Capitalist.
Probably gave those 3 folks several million dollars like he did Stacy Abrams
