Mike Bloomberg: “Tonight, I’m not asking to vote against Donald Trump because he’s a bad guy,” Bloomberg said Thursday. “I’m urging you to vote against him because he’s done a bad job.”
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who spent more than a billion dollars on his short-lived bid for the 2020 Democratic nomination, made his case for Joe Biden at the party’s virtual convention by blasting President Trump’s handling of the economy.
“Donald says we should vote for him because the economy was great before the virus. Huh?” Bloomberg said. “Biden and Obama created more jobs in the last three years of their administration than Trump created in his first three and economic growth was higher under Biden and Obama than under Trump.” In a speech at the 2016 Democratic convention, Bloomberg said “New Yorkers know a con when we see one.”
Since leaving the mayor’s office, he has faced criticism for how Black and Hispanic residents were treated by his “stop-and-frisk” police policy and his skepticism of the #MeToo movement.
