The New York mayor suggested Bloomberg's money made him out of touch with what voters need.
Indeed, the incumbent mayor of New York joined a chorus of people who called into question the timing of Bloomberg's apology over stop-and-frisk.
The mayor also suggested that Bloomberg's wealth made him out of touch with voters, commenting that Bloomberg had not backed raising minimum wages or paid sick days for workers. "And if it were anyone but one of the richest people on earth, how on earth would he even be able to pretend he could get in this presidential race as a Democrat - he's just overtly doing it with money," de Blasio added.
Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said following Bloomberg's announcement that he was entering the race:"I'm disgusted by the idea that Michael Bloomberg, or any other billionaire, thinks they can circumvent the political process and spend tens of millions of dollars to buy our elections."
