Mike Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York who had hoped to self-fund his way to the Democratic presidential nomination but was spurned by voters in Tuesday\u2019s balloting, has dropped out of the race.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bloomberg endorsed\u00a0Joe Biden<\/a>, saying the former vice president had the best chance to win in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always believed that defeating Donald Trump starts with uniting behind the candidate with the best shot to do it. After yesterday\u2019s vote, it is clear that candidate is my friend and a great American, Joe Biden,\u201d Bloomberg said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bloomberg, a media tycoon\u00a0worth an estimated $60\u00a0billion<\/a>, entered the race in November and quickly spent\u00a0hundreds of millions of dollars of his own money<\/a>\u00a0to flood social media, television and radio with ads that boasted \u201cMike Will Get It Done.\u201d In a still-crowded field, Bloomberg projected an image through the airwaves as a moderate candidate with the governing experience, bravado and financial resources to take on President Trump.<\/p>\n
