Sen. Amy Klobuchar ripped multi-billionaire Michael Bloomberg for thinking he could “waltz in” in the thick of the campaign and declare the rest of the field insufficient
, ripping the multi-billionaire for thinking he could “waltz in” in the thick of the campaign and declare the rest of the field insufficient.
Bloomberg’s reconsideration has widely been viewed as an indictment of former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign, as Biden has struggled to maintain his front-runner status in face of challenges from Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Meanwhile, the centrists in the race have struggled to gain much traction. One aide to Bloomberg cautioned this week that his potential reversal has nothing to do with any one candidate.
She also joined the chorus of her fellow Democratic rivals who have suggested that Bloomberg, by being able to sink his personal fortune into the race and not be dependent on donations in the way his rivals are, would essentially be buying himself an election. Those accusations have hounded Tom Steyer, also a billionaire, in the race.As evidence, she pointed to the parallels between Bloomberg’s potential candidacy and Trump’s 2016 campaign. Trump self-funded much of his primary run.
Moreover, she suggested Bloomberg’s line of thinking was out of line with the Democratic electorate. “I have seen a lot of excitement about all of our candidates,” she said, an assertion backed up by polling throughout the 2020 cycle.
