Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg told the New York Times Wednesday that he estimates President Donald Trump has a 55 percent chance at re-election.
Bloomberg, who has been harshly critical of President Trump, thought Democratic in-fighting would make Trump the odds on favorite in 2020.
“They’ll step on each other and re-elect Donald Trump,” he told the Times‘s Frank Bruni, adding that there is a “55 percent chance he gets re-elected.”
Bruni, for his part, was horrified by the estimate. “Fifty-five percent? Whether good for my longevity or not, I need a cookie,” he wrote, comparing the campaign to unseat Trump to Bloomberg’s oft-cited crusades against smoking and junk food.
Bloomberg was brutal in his critique of Hillary Clinton’s failed bid for the White House. ‘Hillary said, ‘Vote for me because I’m a woman and the other guy’s bad,’” he said.
