Billionaire and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is considering a run for the presidency, spurred by Donald Trump’s unsubsiding momentum and Hillary Clinton’s weakening position, according to the New York Times.

Citing unnamed sources, the paper reports that Bloomberg has told his inner circle that he would foot the bill for the run at up to $1 billion of his own money.
