Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will reassess the future of his Democratic

presidential campaign after his disappointing

showing on Super Tuesday, but a campaign official said that did not mean his
candidacy would end on Wednesday.

"As our campaign manager said before the polls closed tonight, any campaign would
reassess after tonight, after next week,
after any time there was a vote," said Bloomberg national press secretary Julie
Wood.

Results in the 14 Super Tuesday nominating contests showed the billionaire

businessman gaining little traction with voters.
Mr Bloomberg adopted a novel strategy for his White House bid, opting out of the
first four nominating contests and hoping
a $500 million-plus ad blitz would generate a momentum-building series of wins on
Super Tuesday.

Another campaign official told Reuters it was inaccurate to suggest Mr Bloomberg’s

presidential run could end on Wednesday.

Mr Bloomberg was unlikely to win any states, although he will likely pick up some
of the 1,357 pledged delegates available.
He was projected to win in American Samoa, a US territory that awards a total of
six delegates.
