Bloomberg: '55 percent chance' Trump will win reelection
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg thinks there's a "55 percent chance" President Trump will be reelected in 2020.
Bloomberg, who politically identifies as independent, told (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/31/opinion/michael-bloomberg-philanthropies-health.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0) New York Times columnist Frank Bruni that he thought Democrats didn't have an effective message to win the 2016 election and could repeat that mistake in 2020.
“Hillary said, ‘Vote for me because I’m a woman and the other guy’s bad,’” Bloomberg said about 2016.
He said Democrats are still looking for issues and messages. And he worries that too many Democrats are eager to jump into the 2020 race.
“They’ll step on each other and re-elect Donald Trump (http://thehill.com/people/donald-trump),” Bloomberg said.
Bloomberg endorsed Hillary Clinton (http://thehill.com/people/hillary-clinton) in 2016 and spoke (http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/289546-bloomberg-offers-scathing-indictment-of-trump) at the Democratic National Convention, calling Trump a "dangerous demagogue."
