United States: The billionaire ex-mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg began his career for the presidency of the United States within the Democratic Party, Prensa Latina reports.

"I will run for president to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild the United States. We cannot afford four more years of President Trump's reckless and unethical actions”, the media entrepreneur who founded the company that bears his name, Bloomberg LP, said in a statement.

This businessman ranks number eight among the richest Americans with an estate valued at $ 53.4 billion. The candidate will have the advantage of self-financing the campaign and allocating millions to advertising and personnel contracts.

This news imposes a challenge for his party partners at the top of opinion polls such as former Vice President Joe Biden and South Bend Mayor Indina Pete Buttigieg. The prominent liberal senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are also in competition.
