Longtime daytime TV star Judge Judy revealed her 2020 choice, and it’s former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has not declared his candidacy for president.

“I realize I am taking a personal and a career risk in making such a statement. I have carefully stayed away from politics for 50 years, except to vote. But times have changed in our country, and I believe the moment has come for me to step out from behind the curtain. I want to speak honestly and from the heart—regardless of the consequences,” Judge Judy Sheindlin wrote for USA Today.
