recent days, but Mr Bloomberg dropping out and endorsing the candidate could help shape the election in
the coming months.
After the billionaire announced he was dropping from the race, Mr Biden tweeted out a thanks for adding
his support to his resurging campaign.
“I can’t thank you enough for your support – and for your tireless work on everything from gun safety
reform to climate change,” the vice president wrote to Mr Bloomberg. “This race is bigger than candidates
and bigger than politics. It’s about defeating Donald Trump, and with your help, we’re gonna do it.”
Mr Bloomberg built a campaign apparatus that includes 500 staffers committed to carrying on into the
general election even if he was no longer competing, NBC News reports. That could substantially improve
the Democratic Party’s chances of winning against Mr Trump come November.
