Bloomberg would likely be fine with Biden getting back into the race big time.
I just wanted to point out what Bloomberg has been doing in two areas. Bloomberg has been more active than the NRA in backing those whose congressional race are focused on climate change. "His" candidates won almost all their races in 2018, and were a big part of the Democrat's winning the House. He can be expected to do this again. Obviously, a Sanders at the head of the ticket will make this effort much more difficult.
Bloomberg and Governor Jerry Brown lead the US effort to meet the US pledges made to those who signed the Paris Accords. This is being done in spite of the efforts of the White House. In addition to helping financially, Bloomberg has been critical in reducing the number of coal plants in the US energy future. [In fairness, I would also note that Steyer has spend lot of effort and money on Climate Control issues, and on candidates].
It is great for folks to demonstrate and to try to inflict Bernie's revolution upon us. It is quite another to actually pass legislation and act without legislation as Bloomberg, Brown and Steyers have done (and also Bezos, Gates and many others]. Bernie thinks that billionaires have no place on this earth. I'm certainly glad they are going where others have only talked and voted. [for Sanders in favor of the gun lobby, against citizenship for DACA folk, and in support of climate change proposals which are simply impossible and terrible even as goals.] even AOC recognizes the passing Obamacare improvements, including a public option is a good step forward.
======
As I have said, it is time for Bloomberg to stop spending millions to introduce HIMSELF, and spend more time introducing us to the statements and policies of Sanders.
========
And, no, I don't want Bloomberg as president. I would greatly prefer Biden (or even Buttigieg or Klobuchar]. But, for now, Bloomberg is doing the heavy lifting, and telling the truth about Sanders and the effects of his candidacy. he needs to do much more.
