Top financiers want Biden to drop out so Bloomberg can win: ’He has no chance’ - www.foxbusiness.com
Excerpts from article:
...Behind the scenes, the word from the party's fat-cat set is that the Biden campaign may already be lost despite the Wall Street C-suite names attending the events because former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is poised to take sole control of the party's moderate wing.
...After a slow start, national polls show Bloomberg gaining ground; the most recent Quinnipiac poll has him now at 15 percent nationally, as the former front-runner Biden fades to 17 percent, and Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders leads with 25 percent.
...Cooperman was one of the first money men to openly support Bloomberg, who isn't taking outside money but has been soliciting support from key financiers.
...Bloomberg himself has recently publicly apologized for stop-and-frisk, and people close to his campaign say key Bloomberg officials are privately stating that he will seek to strengthen ties to black votes by possibly selecting an African American running mate if he wins the nomination.
...The Bloomberg appeal seems to be based on the notion that with Biden slipping, there is simply no one who can beat Trump despite the president's low approval ratings.
