As you’ve seen, Mike Bloomberg made a big announcement today.

“I’m running for president to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America,” Mike said in his opening statement this morning.

“We cannot afford four more years of President Trump’s reckless and unethical actions. He represents an existential threat to our country and our values. If he wins another term in office, we may never recover from the damage.”

“The stakes could not be higher. We must win this election. And we must begin rebuilding America.”
