ema 11/24/19 - Whether Mike Bloomberg would take on the complications of a presidential campaign was an open question at the start of 2019.  He did enjoy success in his three terms as Mayor (elected in 2001, 2005, and 2009).  He was having an impact in the private sector, from leadership of Bloomberg LP, the global information and technology company he founded in 1981, which has 19,000 employees, to his work at Bloomberg Philanthropies.  Bloomberg led on several issues important to Democrats, specifically gun violence and climate change.  He co-founded Mayors Against Illegal Guns in 2006 and has provided much of the backing for Everytown for Gun Safety.  On climate change, he teamed with former Sierra Club chairman Carl Pope to author Climate of Hope (St. Martin's Press, April 2017) and in 2018 Bloomberg Philanthropies supported the documentary Paris to Pittsburgh.  In the 2018 cycle he provided a total of $110 million to support Democrats, much through his Independence USA PAC, and emphasized taking back the U.S. House (1, 2).  However, Bloomberg doesn't fit the picture of a traditional Democrat.  He has been described as a "pragmatic centrist," and will likely have difficulty attracting support of the progressive activists who are a critical part of the party.  In 2016 Bloomberg considered an independent run for president, but he ruled it out on March (+).  In March 2019, Bloomberg, now a Democrat, again ruled out a presidential run (+).  However, eight months later, on Nov. 24, he reversed course an announced his entry into the race (+).
