Bloomberg highlights ties to Obama in new ad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=WYW6Efw8b5U&feature=emb_logo

Democratic presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg on Wednesday launched a new ad touting his ties to former President Obama, highlighting their work together in communities across the country....

"At a time when Washington is divided in old ideological battles, he shows us what can be achieved when we bring people together to seek pragmatic solutions," Obama is heard saying of Bloomberg in the 30-second spot.

The former New York City mayor endorsed Obama's 2012 reelection bid, citing his stance on climate change. The two leaders also worked on gun control reform in 2013 following the Sandy Hook shooting that left 26 people dead.

Obama has not yet endorsed a 2020 Democratic candidate for president. His status as the last Democratic president and one of the most popular figures in the party would make an endorsement from him extremely valuable for any Democratic candidate.

As an AA, I was put off by the ad. It's obvious that he is trying to weaken Joe but we won't be his Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #3

pawns. This will just make us cling to Joe even more. We’re not gullible or disloyal. We know who had Obama’s back and no slick ad will change what we know.

Perhaps the ad will strike others in the same way. It's news to me that Bloomberg didn't have Obama's back.

I think Bloomberg's ads promote all of the Democratic candidates.
