Billionaire Michael Bloomberg has been rising in the polls. He's
spent more than $450 million on ads, but faced a big challenge
Wednesday in his first presidential debate. This week, Sam talks to
two journalists who have covered Bloomberg for years. Rosie Gray, a
reporter for Buzzfeed News, says that his lackluster debate
performance shows that there is a limit to the power of money on
the campaign trail. Matt Flegenheimer, a national political
reporter for The New York Times, details how Bloomberg is using his
wealth to run a very different campaign than his competitors. Then,
Sam revisits his reporting from Oakland last year on the realities
of young people living with gun violence every day.
