The New York Times reports that Michael Bloomberg is set to endorse Hillary Clinton for president, and — in an apparent endorsement of his apparent endorsement — the billionaire former New York mayor tweets a link to the article.

The report says that Bloomberg, who ran for mayor on a Republican ticket, is to speak in a “prime-time” slot at the Democratic convention that starts tomorrow in Philadelphia.

According to the paper, this is “an unexpected move” by Bloomberg, but one that “reflects [his] increasing dismay about the rise of Donald J. Trump and a determination to see that the Republican nominee is defeated.”
