Billionaire Michael Bloomberg could get the front-runner treatment and be the main target of his 2020 rivals when the former New York City mayor makes his debut on the Democratic presidential debate stage in Nevada on Wednesday.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has already started the attacks, calling Bloomberg an "egomaniac billionaire" who bought "his way into the debate" in a tweet Tuesday. In addition to Warren, Bloomberg will join former Vice President Joe Biden, former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Bernie Sanders of Vermont in the closely watched contest, which precedes Saturday’s Nevada caucuses. Bloomberg qualified for his first debate after a last-minute poll released Tuesday morning gave him the edge.
Sanders and Warren have run on a message of taking power away from the nation's wealthiest 1 percent and changing the political system to work for the working class. They've prioritized funding from small-dollar donors and accused Bloomberg of using his vast wealth to "buy" the election. Click here for more.
