Neither Clinton nor Bloomberg were ever declared candidates, so they could not "drop" out of the race. I'm hoping Clinton learns restraint, and refrains from seeking the limelight. Bloomberg has already been a big difference-maker. For example, his massive monetary contribution to the Sierra Club launched and helps fund that organization's "Beyond Coal" campaign, one of the most successful environmental campaigns ever undertaken. If you're not familiar with this ambitious and highly successful campaign google it. It's been around for a few years and the lawyers and activists operating under that umbrella are doing important work. I hope Bloomberg continues to contribute to meaningful work, but his presence as a candidate would be more a negative than a positive.

Biden is not officially running either but he's the front runner on several polls.
