10 Market Indicator Closing Summaries – Yahoo Finance Closing Tickers on MHProNews…
Featured Focus – Where Business, Politics, and Investing Meet
From the start of the campaign of former POTUS Obama-era Vice President Joe Biden, MHProNews has said that his entry is doomed to fail. Early one, we focused on the potential of Senator Elizabeth Warren, which is not to endorse her, but to recognize her ability to rally Democratic support for her campaign.
While sources are saying that filing to be on the election ballot in Alabama isn’t yet a sure thing that billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will run, it is a step closer. It must send chills down the spines of the Biden campaign.
Given that Bloomberg reportedly spent some $100 million dollars of his money to support 2018 election cycle campaigns among Democrats, it is self-evident that a man with over $50 billion in net worth can self-fund a major campaign.
Here is the left-of-center take from CNBC.
- Mike Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York, is preparing to enter the Democratic presidential primary, according to NBC News, which cited a Bloomberg advisor.
- “He’s still not sure,” a source told CNBC. This source also said these are “unprecedented times” and that Bloomberg is concerned about what he’s seeing both from Democrats and President Donald Trump.
- The New York Times reported Thursday, citing people briefed on the plans, that Bloomberg was working on entering at least one Democratic presidential primary and potentially the overall race for the chance to take on Trump.
The Senator Elizabeth Warren’s campaign is already tweeting and is no doubt bound to start funding raising off of this move.
Meanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence filed candidacy papers in New Hampshire in person for President Donald J. Trump and the Trump-Pence 2020 campaign. There has been plenty of buzz around what looks like Governor Matt Bevins’ (KY-R) apparent loss, which he is not yet conceding, hinting that there may have been voting irregularities. With former senator and then U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions poised to enter the race against Democrat Doug Jones in Alabama, it is obvious that the tides and currents are moving swiftly.
MHProNews will continue to monitor the races and provide indications as to what it may mean for your money and investments. See the related reports below for more.
