If someone had simply stopped and double-checked some math, they might have saved MSNBC’s Brian Williams and New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay some embarrassment and an apology Thursday night.

Instead, both Williams and Gay marveled on air in reaction to a Twitter user’s post about Mike Bloomberg’s campaign spending.

Trouble is, the post had gotten the math all wrong – yet neither Williams nor Gay seemed to notice.

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is on track to have spent nearly $5 million of his vast fortune on each delegate he won on Super Tuesday, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis.

Bloomberg is projected to collect 104 delegates from Super Tuesday victories, according to The New York Times, meaning he will have spent millions of dollars on each delegate after plowing more than $500 million into his ill-fated presidential campaign. He suspended his campaign Wednesday after a poor showing.

Michael Bloomberg ended his presidential campaign Wednesday after failing to persuade Democratic voters he was the best choice to defeat President Donald Trump despite record spending that topped a half-billion dollars.

In a statement, Bloomberg said he was endorsing Joe Biden.

“I’ve always believed that defeating Donald Trump starts with uniting behind the candidate with the best shot to do it. After yesterday’s vote, it is clear that candidate is my friend and a great American, Joe Biden.”

Former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg, a centrist billionaire who launched a White House bid after years of flirting with a run, and pledged to use his vast resources to unite Democrats and moderate Republicans against President Donald Trump has suspended his campaign and is endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden.

Billionaire media mogul Michael Bloomberg on Wednesday dropped out of the Democratic presidential race after a humiliating rejection by voters on Super Tuesday.

He said he wasn’t giving up on the fight to defeat President Trump and threw his support — and his fortune — behind former Vice President Joseph R. Biden.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will reassess his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday, NBC News reported.

The Bloomberg campaign did not immediately respond on Tuesday to a request for comment.

MICHAEL BLOOMBERG did not want to be in Selma on Sunday. When the Rev. Leodis Strong invited him to participate in the 55th anniversary of the 1965 civil rights march known as “Bloody Sunday,” the former mayor at first declined, saying that he was too busy running for president. A week later, he changed his mind — or had it changed for him — and decided that attending the historic Brown Chapel the Sunday before Super Tuesday and crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge with ailing congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis wasn’t a distraction from his campaign, but an important piece of it.

Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg has made a splash since joining the presidential race, spending more than $500 million from his self-made fortune and placing a blizzard of ads on TV and digital devices.

But Bloomberg the Democratic presidential candidate is often at odds with Bloomberg the three-term mayor, who ran as a Republican and independent. He often airbrushes parts of his record that could turn off Democratic voters.

Here’s a roundup of some of his false and misleading claims.

Now that Mike Bloomberg is on center stage running for President of the United States, his past policies are coming to light. Those of us who are strong supporters of the Second Amendment know that Mike Bloomberg single-handedly funds the gun control groups that aim to disarm law-abiding Americans. What's interesting is that he cherry-picks when he talks about the organization he founded, Everytown for Gun Safety, and its subgroup, Moms Demand Action.

The hour is getting late. On Tuesday, Democrats will be voting in 14 states to choose a presidential nominee — and if you believe the polls, we may be heading for a disaster. Not just for the party, but for the United States of America.

We simply can't afford to nominate Sen. Bernie Sanders, an arrogant, finger-pointing socialist whose call for a revolution is a $60 trillion fantasy — exactly what America doesn't need.
