“Michael Bloomberg might still run for president in 2020, especially if former Vice President Joe Biden winds up not getting in,” Axios reports.

“Bloomberg, estimated by Forbes to be worth $58 billion, could spend unlimited amounts to argue that no one in the race had done more to promote action on climate and guns. So Bloomberg, at least at first, could command a hearing and impose a footprint in a way that few candidates can.”

1. Perhaps Bloomberg feels the old rich white guy isn't adequately

Represented in this crop of candidates, especially if Biden doesn’t run.

2. As much grief as he gets, Bloomberg was a politician of a large city.

I think he sees if someone like Buttigieg can run for president and he's the mayor of a mid-size city, why not him?

Mind you, I wouldn't vote for him (See his "stop and frisk" policies), but if Biden doesn't run, I can see him going for it.

3. Someone needs to fill the nearly 80-year-old man demo if Biden sits out, I guess.

4. Bloomberg/Buttigieg. When Bloomberg kicks the bucket, Pete can be Prez without the hassle.

5. Can't say I'm interested in Bloomberg; if Biden doesn't run, I'll likely support Harris
