Disappointed with the leading Democratic candidates in the 2020 pack, Mike Bloomberg is once again considering a run for president, sources tell The Post.
βHe thinks Biden is weak and [Bernie] Sanders and Warren canβt win,β said a source familiar with Bloombergβs apparent about-face, which comes just months after the three-term New York City mayor took his name out of consideration.
To leave his options open, Bloomberg has dispatched aides to Alabama to start gathering signatures there, a source confirmed, even though it is not an early primary state. Thatβs because Alabamaβs deadline for filing to be on the ballot is Friday.
βMike will be making a decision quickly,β said another source close to the media mogul as other sources said the decision to jump into the crowded Democratic field could come within the next few days.
Bloomberg believes the dynamics of the race have changed on the Democratic Party side, with moderate frontrunner Joe Biden stumbling and anti-corporate candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) gaining steam.
