MIKE Bloomberg is thinking about making Hillary Clinton his running mate as he runs for president, according to a new report.

"Polling found the Bloomberg-Clinton combination would be a formidable force," a source close to Bloomberg's campaign team told the Drudge Report on Saturday.

Bloomberg, 78, reportedly said he'd go so far as to move out of New York, where Clinton lives, to states like Colorado or Florida, so that they are not living in the same state during the 2020 race.

After entering the race later than his opponents, Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, is running for the Democratic nomination for president.

Clinton, 72, won the nomination in 2016, but lost the presidential election to President Donald Trump.

She said last week during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show how she wouldn't agree to be on the 2020 ticket if she were asked.

“Well, that’s not going to happen,” Clinton said, per the New York Post. “But no, probably no.”

She added: "I never say never because I believe in serving my country, but it’s never going to happen."

Clinton also recalled how she turned down former President Barack Obama — twice — when he asked her to be his Secretary of State.

“I was shocked, I had no idea he was going to ask me, I turned it down twice."

In December, Page Six reported Clinton and Bloomberg were spotted having dinner together at Orso in New York City.

Also in attendance was Clinton's daughter, Chelsea Clinton, and businessman Barry Diller and fashion designer wife Diane von Furstenberg, and socialite Annette de la Renta.

A recent Quinnipiac University poll shows signs of success for Bloomberg, whose support has been hovering around 1 in 10 Democratic voters in most national polls.

The poll, conducted after the Iowa caucuses but before New Hampshire's primary this week, found Bloomberg with 15 percent support nationally.

That's up from 8 percent in a poll from late January.

The polling puts him roughly even with former Vice President Joe Biden and with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

It places him slightly ahead of Pete Buttigieg, who essentially tied with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Iowa caucuses.

Sanders, per the poll, was leading with 25 percent nationally.

Bloomberg appeared at a recent rally at Alabama State University, which is historically black.

The event drew several hundred people who changed "I like Mike!"

Since launching his campaign, Bloomberg has come under fire — and apologized — for his criminal justice policies as mayor, specifically stop and frisk, a practice that disproportionately affected people of color.

In 2015 audio that resurfaced this week, Bloomberg said he wanted to "put a lot of cops" in minority neighborhoods because that's where "all the crime is."

Bloomberg apologized for supporting stop and frisk just days before he launched his 2020 big in November and repeated that apology on Tuesday.

He said the remarks "do not reflect my commitment to criminal justice reform and racial equality."

One critic, Hawk Newsome, president of Black Lives Matter New York, said Bloomberg "just looks like someone who's willing to say anything to get elected president."
