The billionaire had bet his White House run on Super Tuesday but failed to win any of the 14 states up for grabs on the most important day in the primary season.
The Super Tuesday results have given Joe Biden’s campaign a new boost after US media tycoon Michael Bloomberg exited the Democratic presidential race and endorsed the frontrunner on Wednesday. This development comes after the billionaire businessman pumped more than half a billion dollars on a gamble that failed to inspire voters.
The billionaire had bet his White House run on Super Tuesday but failed to win any of the 14 states up for grabs on the most important day in the primary season.
A lack of charisma, limping debate performances, the controversy over “stop and frisk” policies when he was New York mayor, and allegations he tried to buy the ticket were seen as having conspired to tank his candidacy before it ever got off the ground.

Inescapably, his poor showing left him facing mounting pressure to clear the way for fellow moderate Biden, who emerged as the newly-resurgent frontrunner following a string on huge victories Tuesday.

US President Donald Trump took the opportunity to mock Michael Bloomberg as he tweeted, “This has been the worst, and most embarrassing, experience of his life”.
