Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg drew hundreds of people to downtown Chattanooga Wednesday for a rally emphasizing his electability against President Donald Trump.
Keeping with the rhythm of his campaign, the billionaire and former New York City mayor used his speech at the Bessie Smith Cultural Center to focus less on his Democratic rivals for the nomination and more on the current commander-in-chief, calling himself the “un-Trump” candidate.
“I’m a New Yorker, but I’m not afraid of Trump and Trump is afraid of me,” Bloomberg said to the crowd.
Since the Senate did not vote to impeach the president, he must be voted out in November, he said.
Any mention of defeating Trump brought cheers from those gathered, which numbered in the hundreds with an overflow crowd in another room at the center and others outside on the lawn. Many of the people there on Wednesday said they are undecided about who they will vote for on March 3, though they preferred more moderate candidates.
