As his first debate nears, Bloomberg is having to answer about his past
WASHINGTON This is not the gracious welcome billionaire Michael R. Bloomberg who has poured towering piles of cash into liberal causes and candidates for more than a decade has come to expect from prominent Democrats.
No, the former New York mayors debut in the top tier of the presidential race has turned brutal.
His rapid rise in the polls has brought Bloomberg a spot on the Democratic debate stage Wednesday in Nevada a state where he is not even on the ballot. It has also earned him the start of a punishing vetting. Each day now, rivals unveil another ghost from his past.
Wednesday nights debate and the outcome of the March 3 Super Tuesday primaries in California and 13 other states could turn on how effectively Bloomberg can respond to those allegations about his past when he is confronted with them in person, without a script and before a television audience of millions.
