U.S. Rep. Max Rose of Staten Island announced his endorsement of Michael Bloomberg’s presidential bid, making Mr. Rose the first member of Congress to back the former New York City mayor’s campaign.
Mr. Rose, a Democrat, specifically cited Mr. Bloomberg’s management of the city in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Mr. Bloomberg was elected to the first of his three terms as mayor that year.
“Mayor Bloomberg’s even-keeled and visionary leadership is what we need to reduce the chaos, partisanship and hyper-vitriol that has overtaken Washington,” Mr. Rose said. “Rather than submit to another stage of politics as usual, we must be bold and unifying in taking on the huge challenges we face as a nation.”
Mr. Rose was elected in 2018. Voters in his district, which includes the borough of Staten Island as well as parts of southern Brooklyn, voted for President Trump over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Bloomberg may want to quit now!
Once his connections to Communist China are made public, he will suffer much embarrassment!

That explains it. Democrats are allowed to gerrymander still.

Please get rid of her. I’ll do my part to get rid of the Dem who took a GOP seat in north San Diego.

He’s got a brain for making money and, apparently, harbors, in that same brain, a pure-D hatred for President Trump.
HST, his billions will make 2020 a most interesting campaign year, but I don’t think Little Mike’s money will sway the needle enough for a Democrat win, though.

I agree. It won't be enough money to win the nomination for that matter, and in either scenario, the reason is, there isn't enough money. President Trump will be reelected.

I expect Max Rose is toast. California will be more difficult due to epic-level fraud. Demonrats simply will not tolerate any Republican defeating an incumbent in that state, at least not at the federal level. No Republican has been allowed to “defeat” a Dem incumbent there since 1994. They’ve systematically stolen seat after seat and are working on stealing the last remaining 7 GOP seats.

We are looking for change, even if the only change is physical stature. lol

He will be wasting his money and making Bloomberg boot-lickers rich.
Won’t make any difference - NO DEMOCRAT WILL WIN PRESIDENCY IN 2020!
