Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York City, announced that he isn’t running for president in 2020. Instead, the billionaire said he would be launching a new campaign dubbed “Beyond Carbon.”

The March 5 announcement ended mounting speculation that Bloomberg would seek the Democratic nomination for 2020. Bloomberg spent millions of dollars last year to support Democrats in retaking control of the U.S. House of Representatives in congressional elections.
