Since then the 76-year-old businessman has been dumping mucho dinero into the coffers of Democratic candidates around the country. With respect to the 2018 midterms, the anti-gunner is ponying up $80 million.<\/p>\n<p>In a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mikebloomberg.com\/news\/statement-mike-bloomberg-2018-midterm-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bloomberg-2020-presidential-democrat\" title=\"Bloomberg Mulling 2020 Presidential Run as a Democrat\"> statement last week<\/a>, Bloomberg who has traditionally positioned himself as an Independent explained why he is committing so much capital to the Dems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepublicans, who control both houses of Congress, have done little to reach across the aisle to craft bipartisan solutions \u2013 not only on guns and climate change, but also on jobs, immigration, health care, and infrastructure,\u201d said Bloomberg. \u201cAs a result, Congress has accomplished very little.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so this fall, I&#8217;m going to support Democrats in their efforts to win control of the House,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>As Baruch College Professor Doug Muzzio noted though, this is more than just a move to change the political makeup of Congress. It\u2019s also a way to curry favor with the DNC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a political chits,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s a lot of winners or loyal losers so one can look at it cynically and say he\u2019s building a political organization, a political base.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This will be the fourth time (2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020) that Bloomberg mulled running for president. So maybe this is just the same old song and dance.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, there is something that feels different about this time around. For starters, the Dems have no shoo-in for the nomination. It\u2019s more wide open than it\u2019s been in decades. Cory Booker, Kristen Gillibrand, Joe Biden, Bill de Blasio \u2014 it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess who will take the cake.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/soros-bloomberg-top-list-of-nras-biggest-2a-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bloomberg-2020-presidential-democrat\" title=\"Bloomberg Mulling 2020 Presidential Run as a Democrat\">Soros, Bloomberg Top List of NRA\u2019s Biggest 2A Threats<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Beyond that, with $51 billion Bloomberg certainly has the money to make it happen. He doesn\u2019t have to fundraise or kiss the ring of any other billionaire to put together a competitive campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Bloomberg fundamentally thinks that he\u2019s better than Trump.

In a post on Twitter this week, the gun lobby called Bloomberg the \u201cDisarmer-In-Chief,\u201d adding &#8220;watch your guns &#8212; he is coming for them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">America&#8217;s top GUN-GRABBER is gearing up for a presidential run.
