Democratic presidential primary frontrunners have escalated attacks against former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg ahead of Saturday’s Nevada caucus, and those in President Donald Trump’s orbit predict this “civil war” will help to re-elect the president in November.
Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Democratic Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar both directly accused Bloomberg of trying to “buy the election” during appearances over the weekend.
“I’ve got news for Mr. Bloomberg,” Sanders told a crowd in Carson City, Nevada on Sunday. “The American people are sick and tired of billionaires buying the elections.”
Sanders also claimed that despite “all his money,” Bloomberg will not create the kind of excitement and energy we need” to win the White House in 2020. Throughout the election cycle, Sanders has repeatedly confirmed his intent to instill a revolutionary wealth tax on millionaires and billionaires. He told CNN’s Erin Burnett back during the October primary debate that he wants to “tax billionaires out of existence.”
Similarly, Klobuchar said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday that Bloomberg, “cannot hide behind the airwaves and the money.”
