Michael Bloomberg can take on Trump, but can he beat Bernie? Over the past few weeks, many of the traditional donors who make up Hollywood’s center left are intrigued and maybe even enthralle…
Leading in a number of polls and boosted by a torrent of small-dollar donations, Sanders also is a pop culture favorite, drawing endorsements from the likes of Mark Ruffalo, Cardi B and Ariana Grande. But there are plenty of showbiz donors and Democratic activists who fear a Sanders nomination will mean a George McGovern-style wipeout come November, and they are flirting with the idea that Bloomberg is the antidote.
Some find Bloomberg and his campaign arrogant — not that that is necessarily a jarring trait in Hollywood — but also see his presidential bid, with its multitude of paid consultants and meme makers, as a bit tone deaf for the times. In his book, Disney CEO Bob Iger says he passed on running in 2020 in part because he was skeptical of the party’s “willingness and ability” to support a successful business person. And that was well before Sanders,Sen.
“I think there are more questions than answers as to how this race will play out,” said Rufus Gifford, the former U.S. ambassador to Denmark and Barack Obama’s 2012 finance director.
