Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg forgot Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was still in the presidential race when a reporter asked him, “Would a third-place finish be good?”
The Democratic presidential candidate responded, “If there’s only 3 candidates you can’t do worse than that.”
The reporter reminded Bloomberg that Warren was still in the race to which he replied, “I didn’t realize she’s still in, is she?”
Watch the full exchange below.
Bloomberg’s comments come shortly after both Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg announced that they were dropping out of the race as IJR previously reported.
Warren made her feelings about Bloomberg clear in an interview with late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel.
When asked by Kimmel, “You don’t seem to like him that much?” She responded by saying, “True… But it’s not personal it’s just everything about him.”
She continued, “Look, here is this guy who makes a bazillion dollars and says, ‘Well that must mean that he’s qualified to be president of the United States.’ And then thinks he can run for president when he’s got a record of embracing racist policies, when he hides his taxes. Does any of this sound familiar?”
