Michael Bloomberg Axios reports Tuesday that Michael Bloomberg might still run for president in 2020, especially if former Vice President Joe Biden winds up not getting in.
Citing people who have discussed the matter with the former New York mayor, Axios said Bloomberg — who announced March 5 that he would not run — might reconsider if a centrist lane were to open up (https://www.axios.com/2020-presidential-election-michael-bloomberg-biden-2e19cd85-975d-43b4-a7ac-b25359b82b82.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=twsocialshare&utm_campaign=organic). The most likely scenario for that would be if Biden, whose displays of public affection have burst into a major issue, were to stay out or fade fast.
Ducey opposes Trump’s border threat: Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey says he does not support closing the U.S.-Mexico border, as President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to do in recent days.
“I’ve said a thousand times or more, Mexico is our No. 1 trading partner, times four,” Ducey told reporters (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/04/01/ducey-does-not-support-president-donald-trump-threat-shut-down-us-mexico-border/3338303002/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzRss&utm_campaign=usatodaycomwashington-topstories), according to the Arizona Republic. “So, I want to see us continue to be able to trade.” The Republican governor said he believes “the border does need attention,” but it’s a “humanitarian crisis, and Congress needs to act.” He said the White House was aware of his stance.
Are the Democrats too boring? A New Republic article asks if the Democrats running for president are “too boring” and says many of them are busy with being policy wonks and are missing the big picture. Citing as one example Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s standing in polls (https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/2020_democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html), the piece says the policy-oriented candidates are struggling to be heard (https://newrepublic.com/article/153432/2020-democrat-candidates-president-boring). “It may well be precisely because they’re getting lost in the details, releasing fine-tuned proposals at a time when they should be focused on energizing Democrats with simple ideas and broad rhetoric.”
Harris’ first-quarter haul: The campaign of Sen. Kamala Harris, one of the Democrats seeking her party’s presidential nomination, said it raised $12 million in the first quarter of 2019 from more than 218,000 individual contributions (https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/436846-harris-campaign-says-it-raised-12-million-in-first-quarter). The Hill notes Harris became the second major candidate to announce her first-quarter fundraising totals after South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg said Monday that he raised more than $7 million in the first quarter (https://twitter.com/PeteButtigieg/status/1112878232397930501).
The announcement emphasized that Harris has pledged to reject contributions from corporate PACs and federal lobbyists. The campaign noted that 98% of contributions were less than $100, the Hill said.
