Mayor Michael Bloomberg issued a press release this evening saying, “I have filed papers with the New York City Board of Elections to change my status as a voter and register as unaffiliated with any political party. Although my plans for the future haven’t changed, I believe this brings my affiliation into alignment with how I have led and will continue to lead our City."
Now that he's no longer a Republican, the question is: will Bloomberg run for the White House?
According to ABC News, Greg Strimple, a Republican strategist in New York said, "If he runs, this guarantees a Republican will be the next president of the United States. The Democrats have to be shaking in their boots."
