Michael Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton they slip out of the race for the White House. The former mayor of New York and the former US secretary of state have announced that they will not run for president in 2020.
Bloomberg, through a note published on Twitter, made it known that he will not take the field for challenge current President Donald Trump – who has already said he will run again and win with a higher percentage of votes than in 2016 – preferring to fight as a "simple citizen" against climate change and the violence deriving from the spread of firearms. Bloomberg parallelly acknowledged "the difficulty of winning a Democratic nomination in such a crowded field."
While there would be no higher honor than serving as president, my highest obligation as a citizen is to help the country the best way I can, right now. That's what I'll do, including the launch of a new effort called Beyond Carbon. My full statement: https://t.co/b3cQUF1PhU

At the moment there are already eight candidates in the primaries of the US Democratic Party: Bernie Sanders, who had been defeated in the last primaries by Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Tulsi Gabbard, Julián Castro and Amy Klobuchar.
Same decision for Hillary Clinton who during an interview with the New York TV channel, News 12, stated that he will not run in the Democratic primaries for the 2020 presidential elections.
"I will not run as a candidate but I will continue to work, have my say and fight for what I believe in," said the former US secretary of state and former first lady, defeated in the last election by Trump, adding that she does not believe that in the future will run for any other public office.
The inelegant reply of the current president was immediate Donald Trump who wrote on her Twitter profile: “Corrupt Hillary Clinton confirms she will not run in 2020, rules out a third candidacy for the White House. Capers, does this mean I won't run against her again? She will miss me a lot."
Tones worthy of the last electoral campaign, when Trump attacked Hillary Clinton head-on, with very heavy accusations concerning above all the funding received from his donors.
“(Crooked) Hillary Clinton confirms she will not run in 2020, rules out a third bid for White House.” Aw-shucks, does that mean I won't get to run against her again? She will be sorely missed!
