A week ago, Michael Bloomberg declared his presidential candidacy. Trump considers the Democratic news agency partisan - and wants to ban her entry to his performances.



The campaign team of US President Donald Trump accuses the media group of Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg partisanship and wants to draw conclusions. The Republican team said they would no longer issue accreditations to representatives of Bloomberg News for Trump's campaign appearances and other events. Whether and how the team handles requests from the media corporation or individual reporters will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

The reason given was that the media company publicly stated that they were not impartial. "Since they have openly expressed their bias, the Trump campaign will no longer accredit representatives of Bloomberg News for rallies or other campaign events," said Brad Parscale, Trump's campaign director, in a statement.

Typically, reporters will be allowed press releases for rallies and other campaign events ahead of the November 2020 elections. Other citizens must purchase tickets for the campaign or wait in long queues to attend the events.
