WASHINGTON: Billionaire former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has signaled he will join the race to secure the Democratic Party’s nomination for US president.
He has filed paperwork ahead of a deadline for the Democratic primary election in Alabama.
The move is a necessary step to join the race to be the party’s candidate to take on President Donald Trump in next year’s election.
Bloomberg, 77, has not formally confirmed his candidacy.
However, spokesman Jason Schechter told US media that an announcement “could come as early as next week”.
