So far, we have seen it almost only in American television commercials and Michael Bloomberg had carefully avoided meddling in the first primaries of the Democratic nomination contest for 2020. But tonight will change. The multi-billionaire, former mayor of New York, enters the arena by participating in the 9th Democratic debate in Las Vegas. For those who are in the race from Iowa, this should be an opportunity to attack the one who goes up in the polls. Certain voters clearly begin to listen to him when he claims to be the only one who can beat the outgoing president on his field. Does it take a billionaire to beat Donald Trump? This is the question of the day.
