Bloomberg Exits Republican Party

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leaving the Republican party and has announced he is currently unaffiliated with a political party, it's reported today. The move will clearly begin advancing rumors that the mayor is gearing towards an independent presidential run, which he has denied in the past. In a statement, however, the 65-year-old billionaire mayor indicated this doesn't change his plans for his political future. "I have filed papers with the New York City Board of Elections to change my status as a voter and register as unaffiliated with any political party."
