November 24, 2019It is official: the former mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, announced his candidacy for the White House for the next presidential elections in 2020. The decision was communicated through a post on the website of his campaign . "I run for the presidency to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America."

"We cannot afford four more years of reckless and unethical actions by President Trump," Bloomberg continued. "It represents an existential threat to our country and our values. If it wins another mandate, we may never recover from the damage."

For weeks we expected the official confirmation of the descent into the field next to the dem of the 77-year-old magnate. On Friday he had presented the formal nomination to the FEC (Federal Election Commission), the US authority for the elections, a due act after he had applied for the Dem primaries in Alabama, Arkansas and Texas but still lacked the official final decision .

The 77-year-old former mayor of New York, media mogul, proposes himself as a centrist alternative to Joe Biden, in a field of already very crowded democratic candidates.
