Former New York City\nMayor Michael Bloomberg has been duking it out with United States\nPresident Donald Trump on Twitter recently and it could be a sign of\nthings to come. That\u2019s because Bloomberg has been fast-rising in\nthe polls and now BetOnline has him as a small favorite to beat Trump\nin the 2020 election \u2013 if they end up going head-to-head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will Bloomberg get\nthe Democratic Party nomination and will he beat Trump in the\nelection? Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DONALD TRUMP +105 The Democratic Party\nhas seen their field shrink from over 20 candidates down to just\neight. While we\u2019ve already seen two states vote for the candidates,\nit\u2019s one of the candidates who is still at zero \u2013 and who hasn\u2019t\neven been viable in the early states \u2013 that is hoping to win the\nrace. Bloomberg has vowed to spend up to $2 billion if necessary, to\nwin the Presidency and that\u2019s what is making such a massive impact\nin his numbers. He was off the board just months ago but when you\nlook at the national polls, he\u2019s now the second favorite to win the\nDemocratic Party nominee, trailing only Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bloomberg has spent\njust shy of $200 million in the first two months of his campaign. As\nSuper Tuesday approaches, candidates like Elizabeth Warren, Amy\nKlobuchar and Pete Buttigieg have spent virtually nothing while\nBloomberg is already in the millions in ad-buys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He\u2019s going to be\non the debate stage next week for the first time, so we\u2019ll see what\nhe looks and sounds like. To date, he hasn\u2019t been scrutinized for\nhis thoughts or ideas; he\u2019s run ads that play with no pushback.\nWe\u2019ll see what happens once the media and other candidates turn up\nthe heat on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vermont Senator\nBernie Sanders is the current frontrunner to win the nominee as\nBetOnline has him at +150 (compared to Bloomberg, who is at +225).\nThe issue is that Sanders already has a head start, having nearly won\nIowa and then winning New Hampshire. The eventual nominee \u2013 either\nRepublican or Democrat \u2013 has always finished at least first or\nsecond in New Hampshire, so Sanders appears to be in good shape.\nHowever, the party is split on his platform, which is a concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sanders is a\nprogressive option, which many view as too far left on the spectrum.\nThings like free healthcare and free education, for example, is not\nwhat many moderate democrats are looking for. They want an\nalternative to Trump but they don\u2019t necessarily want radical\nchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The issue for Sanders, Bloomberg or anyone else going up against Trump is that the economy is strong with unemployment at lows. Unemployment for African-Americans and Latinos is at all-time lows. A recent Gallup\/USA Today poll showed that six in 10 Americans feel they are better off financially today than they were three years ago. As long as the economy is strong, that might be tough for everyone on the Democratic side to overcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The political betting season is heating up–to get all of the latest news and odds follow BetOnline.ag on Twitter<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
