Bloomberg is surging on the national stage, leapfrogging rivals to claim second spot behind leader Bernie Sanders.

“Democrats are not going to win if we have a nominee who has a history of hiding his tax returns, of harassing women, and of supporting racist policies like red-lining and stop and frisk,” she said, referring to systematic denial of loans and a New York crime-prevention strategy that adversely impacted residents of colour.

Bloomberg’s most important appearance on the national stage in more than a decade was a very public vetting, and he notably kept his composure under fire during the debate’s first hour, highlighting his role as a problem solver, a city manager and a philanthropist.“I don’t think there’s any chance of the senator beating Donald Trump,” Bloomberg said, adding that if Sanders is the nominee, “we will have Donald Trump for another four years”.

Pete Buttigieg, the moderate young former mayor of South Bend, Indiana who scored a surprise narrow victory in Iowa, levelled a hit on both Sanders and Bloomberg with a withering if well-rehearsed critique. Sagging former frontrunner Biden, who has suffered the most from Bloomberg’s gains, was second at 16%, followed by Bloomberg at 14 and Warren at 12.

He did have stents installed in 2000 because of a coronary blockage but has never had a cardiac arrest. Sanders had a heart attack in October.“It’s a dangerous time when Sanders goes all in with Trumpism.”
