With the looming prospects of former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg running in as a third party candidate, Democratic National Committee chariwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said she thinks Bloomberg will “ultimately” conclude “it’s not necessary for him to run.”
Wednesday on CNN’s “Wolf,” Wasserman Schultz told host Wolf Blitzer, “I think Michael Bloomberg when he takes a good close look at where his priorities are in terms of the issues he wants the president to fight for and advance he will eventually conclude that those are well cared for in the Democratic nominees’ priority and the Democratic party’s agenda.” (RELATED: Poll: Michael Bloomberg Would Be Competitive Against Trump And Hillary)
Wolf Blitzer: “Here’s a wild card that could emerge in the next two or three weeks, the former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg now says publicly he’s considering a run for president as a third party independent candidate. And people close to him have told me he’s very concerned that Hillary Clinton just doesn’t have it. She can’t beat the republicans and he certainly doesn’t like Bernie Sanders and several of the positions he takes. How much of a problem with would that be from the Democratic Party if Michael Bloomberg were to run?” (RELATED: Report: Bloomberg ‘Drawing Up Plan’ For Presidential Run)
Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Like I’ve said previously, I think to you specifically, I think Michael Bloomberg when he takes a good close look at where his priorities are in terms of the issues he wants the president to fight for and advance he will eventually conclude that those are well cared for in the Democratic nominees’ priority and the Democratic party’s agenda, certainly not cared for by any of the Republicans that are running right now. On the contrary, they would roll back progress on issues like education and consumer protection and you know gun safety and protecting people from people who would do them harm. So I think ultimately he’ll conclude that his issues are well cared for in our party and will choose not to run and will find that it’s not necessary for him to run to make sure those issues have a home, in the– in our party’s candidate for president.”
