COMPTON, Calif. (Reuters) – U.S. Democratic presidential contender Michael Bloomberg promised on Monday he would not let President Donald Trump bully him and said the insults being lobbed at him are a sign Trump is worried about running against the fellow New york city business magnate.
” I believe he believes I’m going to beat him,” Bloomberg informed Reuters in an interview in Compton, California, where he was campaigning. “And we have actually tried to get under his skin.”
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Thursday showed Bloomberg, a billionaire and former mayor of New York, moving into 3rd place amongst registered voters for the 2020 Democratic nomination.
He tracks front-runners Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, who competed on Monday in Iowa’s caucuses, the standard kickoff to the governmental nominating contest. Bloomberg is taking an unconventional technique focused rather on larger, delegate-rich states such as California that begin voting in March.
