SUMMARY
In a statement posted to X on Monday, Michael Bloomberg praised President Biden’s decision to step aside as “an act of selflessness” but did not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Bloomberg stressed the need for Democrats to carefully gauge voter sentiment in battleground states to determine the best candidate for the 2024 election. This cautious approach contrasts with the numerous endorsements Harris has received recently. Some Democrats, echoing Bloomberg’s sentiment, are calling for a “miniprimary” to ensure the party selects the strongest candidate. “The decision is too important to rush,” Bloomberg asserted, “because the election is too important to lose.”
