After spending more than half a billion dollars and winning an estimated 31 delegates on Super Tuesday, former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg ended his presidential run in the face of a stinging rejection by Democratic primary voters, saying he no longer has a path to the nomination. Bloomberg released a statement saying he would be leaving the race and endorsing Joe Biden.

Voters in South Carolina and across the country, as well as outspoken celebrities in Hollywood, tuned in on Tuesday to watch the remaining 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls engage in their most intense debate yet. The top remaining Democratic candidates for president — Michael Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar and Tom Steyer — met for a heated and contentious debate in Charleston, S.C.

In a rare moment of Tuesday's Democratic debate when candidates did not retread old arguments, Amy Klobuchar addressed what she would do about the spread of coronavirus if she were president. In response to CBS News moderator Gayle King's question about whether she would close borders to Americans exposed to coronavirus, Klobuchar seemed to say no.

Some of the blame for CBS News’s chaotic, messy Democratic Party primary debate Tuesday night can be laid at the feet of the party itself — to a degree, CBS was depicting the chaos and mess of a party badly divided in the midst of a bruising campaign. But a share of ignominy also goes to CBS itself, which botched its time in the spotlight in part by insisting that it, and not the candidates, deserved that spotlight.

Will Michael Bloomberg get pummeled once more over NDAs and "stop-and-frisk" policies by fellow Democratic candidates at the next debate? Viewers will find out at Tuesday's South Carolina debate, hosted by CBS News, the Congressional Black Caucus Institute and Twitter. The debate, set for 8 p.m.

One week after Senator Elizabeth Warren obliterated Mike Bloomberg in Las Vegas, the Democratic presidential candidates are back for the third and final debate of February. Tonight, February 25, seven of the final eight remaining candidates will duke it out onstage at the Gaillard Center in Charleston, South Carolina, to prove that they’re the best person to win the Democratic nomination.

It comes after the longtime Republican once told people to “just fucking get over it" when the President makes racist comments

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will finally enter the debate arena to face off with fellow Democratic candidates on Wednesday.The ninth Democratic debate, hosted by NBC News, MSNBC, Noticias Telemundo and The Nevada Independent and set to begin at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m.

After what seems like countless Democratic debates, February 19th’s had a giant curveball in Mike Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor whose enormous fortune has given him a late, but undeniable, leg up in the race.

It’s been one week since the New Hampshire primary, and the Democratic candidates have another goal in mind: beating Bernie Sanders and coming out on top at the Nevada caucus. But before they see voters pledge for them on February 22, the candidates are taking the debate stage in Las Vegas on February 19, at the iconic Paris Theater.
