Several months ago, I asked Naomi Klein what the establishment response would be to a surging candidate who endorses a bold Green New Deal and vows to aggressively take on corporate power. She responded with: “they’re going to do something... perhaps even run a Mike Bloomberg.”
Well the time has finally arrived. Michael Bloomberg officially entered the 2020 Democratic primary race on Sunday.
Bloomberg, a former Republican and mayor of New York City, considered a run earlier in the campaign cycle. Yet with Joe Biden on solid ground, he decided not to enter the race.
