Actor Michael Douglas endorses Bloomberg for president

Actor Michael Douglas is backing former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in the presidential race.

Douglas announced his endorsement for the Democratic hopeful Tuesday, calling the late-entry to the 2020 field “one of the greatest candidates in the history of our elections.”

Douglas told People magazine he “hasn’t been this excited” about a candidate since President John F. Kennedy.

Douglas said he is “very proud” of the rest of the Democratic field, but worried a candidate too far left could divide the country.

“I don’t know if we are ready for a dramatic change in policies or if we’re working more just to fix some of the things that are wrong,” Douglas told the magazine. “A little tweaking might be in order and make audiences feel a little more secure before we have anything of a dramatic change taking place.”
