Michael Bloomberg suggested Joe Biden was not ready to be President of the United States, and that the job requires a “manager and executive.”

"(Biden) is a legislator, and the job (of being president) requires a manager and executive, and I feel very strongly about that," Bloomberg told CNN's Don Lemon.

Lemon responded, "He was the Vice President. (Former President Barack) Obama thought he was ready. You don't think he's ready?"

"Obama thought he was ready for what?" Bloomberg said.

"He was his Vice President, he was ready to be president. That's the next job," Lemon said.

"I don't know, you'd have to talk to President Obama about that," Bloomberg said. "All I know is we keep putting legislators in the job that requires a manager."

Earlier in the interview, Bloomberg told Lemon that he was the candidate who could beat President Donald Trump, and that he was "ready for the job, and I don't think any of the others are."
