Democratic 2020 hopeful Michael Bloomberg missed the Jan.1 deadline to file with the Nevada State Democratic Party, his party announced on Thursday. As a result, the former New York City mayor's name will not appear on preference cards during the Feb. 22 caucus and four days of early voting where voters will have the opportunity to choose their favored Democratic candidates. “We are confident we can win in states voting on Super Tuesday and beyond, where we will start on an even footing," Bloomberg spokeswoman Galia Slayen said.
