Bloomberg to join Democratic debate in Las Vegas
The Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas will have a new face Wednesday night. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg qualified Tuesday to participate in his first debate after an NPR/PBS/NewsHour/Marist poll found him in second place behind Sen. Bernie Sanders. It was the fourth national poll to find Bloomberg with 10% or more support, making him eligible. Bloomberg won't be on the ballot for Nevada's caucuses on Saturday, however. A late entry into the race in November, Bloomberg is skipping the first four contests to focus on performing well on March 3 – Super Tuesday.
