Sanders Rejects Bloomberg’s Help In General Election

NBC News reports:

A top adviser said Bernie Sanders would reject an offer from Mike Bloomberg to spend heavily on his behalf in the general election if Sanders wins the Democratic presidential nomination.

Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York who is running against Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, in the Democratic primary campaign, has said he would keep his money flowing to help oust President Donald Trump, regardless of whom Democrats nominate.

But Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ closest aide, said the Democratic front-runner would not want Bloomberg’s help. “It’s a hard no,” Weaver told NBC News after Tuesday night’s debate.
