reasons bloomberg didn t get in, in the first place, is because he didn t think there was room. he s betting that biden will falter and there will be a lane for him in the middle of the electorate. i also had a second tweet in which i pointed out that biden s base is not a bloomberg base. it s white working class voters, noncollege educated voters, african-american voters. bloomberg s reach is not into that constituency, and that s his problem. it s not clear where his votes are. and, you know, i think this is motivated by a combination of conclusion that biden may not make it. ambition. and i think genuine concern about trump and the re-election of donald trump. because biden may be losing money. h s not losing african-american support yet. not yet, no. we ll see if it holds. the real question is can you lose the first two contests and win the nomination. it sort of defies the laws of presidential physics, presidential campaign physics but that s their plan.
about any of the testimony so far. there s reason to be in some of these things. but i think some of the fr frustration you see among republicans is there s drip drip drip of transcripts. they could release all these things, but they re packaging it up and elongating the story. one of the things the president is talking about is jeff sessions, the guy he fired as attorney general and the guy who happens to be making it official today to start the process of taking back his old senate seat. the president was asked if he would endorse jeff sessions in this race. he says he hasn t made up his mind. it s interesting because donald trump has a lot of power in this position. he is extremely popular in alabama. he is somebody who enjoys wild approval and he is somebody who has not been shy about how much he dislikes the guy who recused himself from the russia investigation as attorney general. i want to bring in vaughn hillyard, sessions team is out with ads calling jeff sessions a
bloomberg didn t get in was because of biden. now bloomberg s team is saying he s troubled by the field and by the way that things are looking. the question though really is is he troubled by biden and the performance he s seen so far, or is he troubled by warren and the pretty consistent rise that he s seen from her throughout this democratic primary, hallie. ali vitali, mike and john as well, kristen welker and geoff bennett, we will see you after the break. we are getting more information on what the president is telling reporters on the south lawn as it relates to the impeachment inquiry and as it relates to another transcript we may see e released from the white house any day. we ll have more after the break. r at average risk. i took your advice and asked my doctor to order cologuard, that noninvasive colon cancer screening test. the delivery guy just dropped it off. our doctor says it uses advanced science. it s actually stool dna technology that finds 92 percent of colon canc
not a billionaire but see how much the billionaires would pay under this plan. and one of the names you can choose is michael bloomberg, who would pay about $3 billion if this wealth tax were implemented according to the wealth tax calculator. and that s going to be one of the central pieces of their debate if bloomberg goes full bore. so if he comes at this, income inequality is going to be central to the way that elizabeth warren and michael bloomberg sort of battle for the soul of the democratic party right now. listen to what she told harry smith last night about this issue. i don t think that democracy should be about people coming in and buying elections. i think what it ought to be about is this pointed at michael bloomberg? it s pointed at everybody who thinks the way to run this democracy is through the billionaires, the corporate executives, the pacs. it s about how we think democracy works. and mike mentioned that when he and i were reporting on this earlier this y
