Summary
After the recording surfaced, his campaign released a statement saying that "this issue and my comments about it do not reflect my commitment to criminal justice reform and racial equity."Congressional Black Caucus member Congresswoman Lucy McBath said in her statement of support for Bloomberg, "Nobody running for president has done more for the gun violence prevention movement than Mike." CBS News has also exclusively learned that Turner plans to help officially launch Bloomberg's newest initiative, Mike for Black America. Turner's endorsement of Bloomberg comes at a pivotal time in the campaign, as black voters who had planned to support Joe Biden may be searching for alternatives after his two lackluster finishes in the first two Democratic primary voting contests in Iowa, where he appears to have placed fourth, and in New Hampshire where he was a distant fifth.
