Bloomberg to announce 2020 decision by end of month
By STEVE PEOPLES

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Friday that he’ll decide by the end of the month whether to seek the presidency.
The 76-year-old businessman, one of the richest men in the world, has been openly contemplating a Democratic White House bid since late last year. In an interview with The Associated Press, Bloomberg said he has “three more weeks” to make his decision in line with his plan to announce his intentions before the end of February.
He also rejected a recent report suggesting he likely would not run if former Vice President Joe Biden enters the race.
“My decision doesn’t depend on what other people are going to do,” Bloomberg said. “My decision depends on whether or not I think I can make a difference.”
