Mike Bloomberg suspended his presidential campaign a day after his dismal showing on Super Tuesday — and will endorse former Vice President Joe Biden, whose campaign surged to win nine states.
The billionaire former New York City mayor spent hundreds of millions of dollars on his failed campaign.
“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 in a statement released Wednesday.
He said he has always used “data to inform decisions.”
“After yesterday’s results, the delegate math has become virtually impossible — and a viable path to the nomination no longer exists. But I remain clear-eyed about my overriding objective: victory in November. Not for me, but for our country,” he continued. “And so while I will not be the nominee, I will not walk away from the most important political fight of my life.”
