White House press secretary on Bloomberg 2020: ‘Hold onto your sodas, America’
"Whoever the ultimate candidate will be, will lose."
President Trump is ready to throw down in 2020 — no matter who the Democratic nominee may be, according to White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham.
“Hold on to your sodas, America,” she told FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo in response to former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s 2020 presidential run.

Following Grisham's appearance, Trump told reporters at the White House that Bloomberg doesn't have the "magic to do well" but would "hurt Biden."
"Little Michael will fail," said Trump. "He will spend a lot of money. He's got some really big issues. He's got some personal problems and he's got a lot of other problems."
Although Grisham has yet to speak to the president about Bloomberg, and the Hatch Act prevents her from making too many comments, she said, the White House believes that Trump’s policies are strong enough to beat any contender.
