New York: Former New York city Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Monday he has decided not to run for the White House, after months of consideration.

"There is a good chance that my candidacy could lead to the election of Donald Trump or Senator Ted Cruz. That is not a risk I can take in good conscience," the 74-year-old billionaire media mogul said in a statement.
