While Fox News Network remains
enamored by Donald Trump’s candidacy, Rupert Murdoch is throwing another media titan’s hat into the ring, tweeting an endorsement for Michael Bloomberg to enter the race.
Bloomberg, who retired as a three-term New York City mayor last year, rejoined his Bloomberg media empire in an operational role, and has generally demurred when it comes to suggestions he
might run for a higher office.
“With Trump becoming very serious candidate, it's time for next billionaire candidate, Mike Bloomberg to step into ring. Greatest
mayor,” Murdoch tweeted Sunday night, then adding, “Agree much about Bloomberg, nannystate, etc, but still a great philanthropic executive who, with Guiliani, made NY the
greatest.”
