NOTABLE QUOTES OF THE DAY

"As a former business magnate and mayor of New York City, Bloomberg has the two qualities essential to enter the presidential race at this late stage: money and name recognition. For that reason, I think Bloomberg can immediately become a heavyweight in the Democratic primaries. Beyond the attention he'd garner with his announcement, there's plenty of space for Bloomberg to position himself as a moderate voice, especially with Joe Biden's candidacy stuck in neutral."

– Thomas Gift ([link removed]) , University College London

“It’s tough in Iowa. It’s tough with 90 days away. If he does this, this is not going to be an Iowa-centered campaign. If he does this, this is going to be a very unorthodox campaign."

– Matt Paul ([link removed]) , 2016 Clinton Iowa state director
