Bloomberg can delay financial disclosure until after Super Tuesday |
2020-01-19 |
[Axios] Billionaire presidential contender Mike Bloomberg received an extension through March 20 that allows him to keep details about his personal wealth confidential until after Americans vote in the 2020 Democratic primaries, The New York Times reports. Why it matters: Billionaires have been a focal point so far in the 2020 election, and have been lamented by other candidates for using their vast wealth to buy the nomination. The state of play: Bloomberg received an extended deadline to file his financial disclosure more than two weeks after Super Tuesday. The big picture: Transparency has become important to the 2020 race since President Trump has refused to share his tax returns. "Many Democrats do not want to cede their political advantage on the topic in 2020," the Times writes. Our thought bubble, via Dan Primack: Bloomberg, as one of America's most successful living entrepreneurs, has created and amassed a lot of wealth. Bloomberg is worth an estimated $50 billion, per the Times. His campaign did not respond to a request for comment. |
