How the Warren, Buttigieg, and Biden campaigns are taking advantage of Bloomberg's big stumble
Bloomberg joins the stage. Photo: Ethan Miller/Getty Images Entering the final week before Saturday’s Nevada caucuses, it was hard to walk down the Las Vegas Strip without running into Democratic officials, strategists, and campaign staffers. Often, when I’d begin talking with them, they would shake their heads or shrug, clearly trying hard to fight off a sense of fatalism about the rise of Bernie Sanders and Michael Bloomberg.
In the days leading up to the Las Vegas debate though, many of these Democrats began to consider the idea that Wednesday’s forum might be their best shot at taking Bloomberg down, one way or another. But the certainty of a multiple-candidate pile-on didn’t become real until Wednesday morning when a Bloomberg campaign memo began circulating.
Buttigieg’s campaign, for one, shot a memo of its own back in Bloomberg’s direction on Thursday, calling on the New Yorker to get out of the former South Bend mayor’s way, since he was the one leading the anti-Sanders charge.
In Philadelphia, meanwhile, Biden’s team has been building up its anti-Bloomberg program for weeks — steadily increasing the amount of research and messaging resources dedicated to him behind closed doors — seeing him as an obvious threat but a shockingly easy target whose turn in the spotlight would lighten the attacks on the former vice president.
