But when the billionaire is Mike Bloomberg – and the endorsement is the latest from a string of California mayors he mentored and supported – the vow of support raises some eyebrows. Bloomberg announced on Thursday that London Breed, San Francisco’s first black female mayor, would serve as his campaign’s chair of African Americans. It’s not San Francisco endorsing Mayor Bloomberg. “I haven’t met many Bloomberg supporters in San Francisco,” local lawmaker Matt Haney told the Guardian. It’s significant that Bloomberg has been able to win the endorsements of black trailblazing mayors like Tubbs and Breed.
