Michael Bloomberg’s campaign has been premised on a big Super Tuesday performance. Joe Biden’s huge South Carolina win has thrown all that into question. gdebenedetti reports
And then there was one? Photo: Mario Tama/Getty Images So where is Michael Bloomberg supposed to go from here?
Back in midtown, some of Bloomberg’s top advisers were taken aback by the size of Biden’s win, but were quick to insist that it wouldn’t change the former mayor’s thinking about the contest: even if Biden looked like a new man, the post–South Carolina cash injection into his campaign wouldn’t make a difference in time to affect Tuesday’s contests. With so many ballots already banked in the early voting period, Biden’s bounce would likely be muted, Bloomberg staffers argued.
Yet Bloomberg’s path to a victory before the Milwaukee convention — or a robust enough showing to keep him in contention if no one wins a delegate majority outright — has relied on positioning himself as the obvious moderate choice, and the field slimming accordingly.
