OREANDA-NEWS. The representative of the American Democratic Party, former Mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg, dropped out of the race for the presidency of the United States.

“Mike Bloomberg is ending his 2020 presidential campaign, according to campaign spokesmen,” the television company NBC reported. It is clarified that the politician supported the candidacy of ex-vice president of the country Joe Biden. “I’ve always believed that defeating Donald Trump starts with uniting behind the candidate with the best shot to do it. After yesterday’s vote, it is clear that candidate is my friend and a great American, Joe Biden,” Bloomberg said.

On March 2, the former Mayor of South Bend, Pete Buttigieg, who was also running for the post of President of the United States from the Democratic Party, decided to refuse to participate in the race.
