Mike Bloomberg denies "buying" the 2020 Democratic primary

On what political party he identifies with: "Basically nonpartisan"

KING: Who is the real Mike Bloomberg? I was thinking, you were a Democrat. Then you were a Republican. Then you were an Independent. And now you're a Democrat. Who are you? BLOOMBERG: I am a social liberal, fiscal moderate, who is basically nonpartisan. I grew up as a Democrat. In Massachusetts, there are no Republicans. I moved to New York, where I was a Democrat. There are no Republicans. I couldn't become mayor on the Democratic line. The Republicans said, "Well, you can run as a Republican." In New York City, the mayor's job is not a partisan job, so I did. But you could have voted me on a different line. We have a complicated system. KING: But don't you think most of America is in the middle, that most people are centrist? BLOOMBERG: I do believe that most of the public is in the middle. I think it is — most people would say, whether they like my views or not, they would say, "He's at least honest and genuine." Probably say smart, but not everybody would agree with that. But I think they'd all say hardworking and honest.
