Continetti: DNC Boosting Bloomberg to Be Backup Nominee
Washington Free Beacon founding editor Matthew Continetti on Friday said that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is opening the door for Michael Bloomberg if other establishment candidates fail to defeat Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) in early primary states.
On Friday, the DNC eased requirements to qualify for future debates, despite a crowded primary field. Continetti said the gambit shows that the party is looking to the billionaire as Plan B if former vice president Joe Biden continues to struggle.
"If Bernie wins Iowa, he’s already very well positioned in New Hampshire. That will set the Democrat party on fire," Continetti said during Fox News’s Special Report. "And that’s why I think you’ve had this rule change to allow Mike Bloomberg into the debates. This is their insurance policy if the Biden campaign collapses."
