I know I've posted about this on 2020 Democratic primary, but I feel like it does require it's own thread. Bloomberg has officially dropped out of the race and is endorsing Biden. He has wasted about $500-600M of his money and now Biden will most likely be the nominee. This is going to clear the way for it to be a two way race, as Warren doesn't have much support and should drop out if she wants to see her progressive ideals run through Bernie (as he still does have a shot)
While Bloombergs campaign was pretty horrible when it comes to delegates and the popular vote, I do think that Bloomberg proved something. If you're a likable charismatic person who is already kinda well know, your campaign would be able to be propped up by billionaires. Maybe this was a test of some sort? Because Bloomberg had way too many skeletons in the closet and was a horrible debater. Imagine if someone did this who was a good debater and didn't have those same skeletons? They'd probably be the nominee right now.
Now we can all talk about how shit Bloombergs campaign was.

He's said that he'll still continue to pay his massive staff to support the Biden campaign. At least that's what he said in early Jan.
