Michael Bloomberg Ends br Presidential Bid, Endorses Joe Biden The announcement from the br Bloomberg camp follows his poor br showing in the Super Tuesday primaries. Michael Bloomberg, via 'The Washington Post' The former NYC mayor won American Samoa, br but he was unable to place above third br in any of the other 14 states. In an unprecedented self-funded campaign, br the billionaire spent $500 million on social media br and other forms of ads all across the country. Bloomberg was widely perceived br as having performed poorly during his br first appearance on a debate stage in Nevada. He ran as a moderate, br proclaiming himself as the only Democratic br candidate who could beat Donald Trump. After former Vice President Joe Biden's br landslide win in South Carolina, and br endorsements from former candidates br Buttigieg, Klobuchar and O'Rourke, Bloomberg's candidacy br failed to come together. He has vowed to continue his br financial support of the Democratic br effort to defeat Donald Trump in November.
