If you weren't allergic to NBC News, you wouldn't have to assume:
"Bloomberg called the impeachment process “not good,” and said that the country would be “much better off letting the voters decide who is president.”"
Since then, Bloomberg has run an ad calling for Trump's removal from office.

“It’s time for the Senate to act and remove Trump from office, and if they won’t do their jobs this November, you and I will,” Bloomberg says in the ad, which appears to use footage from a recent campaign stop.
Bloomberg has focused his campaign more on Trump than his Democratic primary rivals have. The billionaire businessman and former New York City mayor has promised to continue spending his own money to defeat Trump even if he loses the Democratic nomination.
The ad also highlights Bloomberg’s spending to boost Democratic candidates in key U.S. House races in 2018, when the party took back control of the lower chamber.
Looks like the Citizens United v. FEC decision is a double-edged sword, and not just because of Bloomberg. It also opened the door for Lev Parnas to use soft money to seek influence in the Trump White House. Too bad Parnas and his little butt buddies broke the law by funneling foreign money including Russian funds into U.S. political campaigns, most notably America First Action, a super-PAC supporting Trump and his allies:

That soft money got Parnas, now indicted for campaign finance violations, access to Trump's inner circle, where he pushed for influence in a Ukraine gas enterprise that would enrich Parnas and his cohorts. According to Parnas, this is how the campaign to railroad Maria Yovanovitch began, as well as the pressure on Ukraine for a phony investigation into the Bidens:
