Wednesday night’s primary debate in Las Vegas was Bloomberg’s debut on the debate stage, but was the ninth primary debate overall this election cycle.

Bloomberg, a billionaire, faced fierce attacks from his fellow candidates all night on Wednesday.

“Democrats are not going to win if we have a nominee who has a history of hiding his tax returns, of harassing women, and of supporting racist policies like redlining and stop and frisk,” Sen.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) added later: “I don’t think you look at Donald Trump and say, we need someone richer than Donald Trump in the White House.”

Bloomberg entered the primary race late and isn’t on the ballot in the first four voting states, including Saturday’s caucuses in Nevada. He has spent hundreds of millions of his own dollars in advertising efforts that have helped him surge in national polls. He is targeting Super Tuesday states.
