Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will reassess the future of his Democratic presidential campaign after his disappointing showing on SuperTuesday.
Miami - Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will reassess the future of his Democratic presidential campaign after his disappointing showing on Super Tuesday, but a campaign official said that did not mean his candidacy would end on Wednesday.
Another campaign official told Reuters it was inaccurate to suggest Bloomberg’s presidential run could end on Wednesday. "In just three months, we’ve gone from 1% in the polls to being a contender for the Democratic nomination for president." But Bloomberg was dogged by criticism of his past support as mayor of "stop and frisk," a policy that encouraged police to stop and search pedestrians and ensnared disproportionate numbers of blacks and Latinos. He was also slammed in two Democratic debates for past sexist remarks.
Exit polls showed Biden beating Bloomberg comfortably among conservative voters and independents. In Texas, for instance, where Bloomberg spent a large amount on ads, Biden was leading him with voters who do not identify with either major political party by 24% to 12% and among voters describing themselves as "conservative" by 25 to 17%.
