Former New York City mayor and billionaire entrepreneur Michael Bloomberg has publicly endorsed Senator Kamala Harris for president in the upcoming election. In an Op-Ed published on Thursday, Bloomberg expressed his support for Harris while also criticizing President Donald Trump.
Bloomberg highlighted that while he may not agree with Harris on every issue, he voted for her without hesitation based on his assessment of policy positions and personal integrity. He emphasized the stark contrast between the two candidates, praising Harris for her campaign policies and positive vision for the country.
In his critique of Trump, Bloomberg condemned the president's rhetoric towards immigrants, likening it to language used by Nazis. He also criticized Trump's handling of White supremacists and his divisive messaging about the future of America.
Despite not having a close personal relationship with Harris, Bloomberg commended her for her inclusive campaign approach, reaching out to voters across party lines. It was revealed that Bloomberg had donated $50 million to entities supporting Harris, underscoring his commitment to her candidacy.
Notably, Bloomberg had previously run an unsuccessful bid for the Democratic nomination for the White House in 2020, bringing his perspective as a former candidate to his endorsement of Harris.
