Judge Judy Sheindlin endorsed Michael Bloomberg's presidential bid on Monday, explaining in a television ad for the former mayor why she was giving her blessing to a White House candidate for the first time.

Sheindlin issued her verdict on the former New York City mayor, saying his government and business experience qualified him for the top job in the land.

'I'd like to say you can judge someone's character by what they've done. Mike Bloomberg has done amazing things and will be a truly great president. No one comes close to Mike's executive achievement, government experience, and impactful philanthropy. His steady leadership will unite our country and bring us through these very challenging times,' she said.

Sheindlin, a native New Yorker, gained nation-wide fame through her 'Judge Judy' television show.

Sheindlin's 30-second ad for Bloomberg, titled 'Judge Him,' will run 'across digital channels and in relevant broadcast programming across 26 states,' according to a statement from Bloomberg's campaign.

She expressed her appreciation for the former New York City Mayor in an October op-ed.

'We need a no-nonsense president who's sane, competent and honest, someone who can't be bought and has no skin in the game,' she wrote in USA Today.

'I have carefully stayed away from politics for 50 years, except to vote. But times have changed in our country, and I believe the moment has come for me to step out from behind the curtain,' she noted.

Sheindlin also stopped by ABC's 'The View' on Monday to tout Bloomberg's candidacy.

She said his experience as mayor of New York was the kind of experience that is 'second only to the president of the United States,' citing the city's diverse population.

She pushed back on criticism that Bloomberg was just another billionaire running for president who wanted to buy the race.

'The last time I looked Tom Steyer never governed anything,' Sheindlin said, referring to the billionaire businessman who's also running.

'I think that to define Mike Bloomberg as just another rich guy is one of the greatest injustices of this political campaign that we're in,' she said. 'Mike Bloomberg is the only one of the candidates who has experience governing and managing and successful, and if he's successful and happened to have made money being successful, that, folks, is the American Dream. That's what's supposed to happen.'

She also had tough words for some of the frontrunners for the Democratic nomination.

She criticized Joe Biden, calling the former vice president a 'No. 2 guy' and noted Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders were just senators.

'You have somebody who is a No. 2 guy and a senator - you have two senators,' she told People magazine.

And she said Pete Buttigieg was 'lovely' but was just a small town mayor.

'You have a very lovely young man who ran a very small town for a very short time. If you were the governor of Indiana, you would still be governing two million people less than New York City,' Sheindlin said.

Bloomberg was a late entry into the Democratic field, casting himself as an alternative choice to a Democratic field that has failed to see a candidate catch fire.

A moderate in the political spectrum, Bloomberg is self-funding his campaign and accepting zero political donations.

The decision means he won't make the debate stage for any of the Democratic presidential primaries.

Bloomberg is running fifth in the RealClearPolitics average of polls on the Democratic presidential race.

He's is bypassing the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina to focus on Super Tuesday - a date when 15 states, including California, will hold their nominating contests.

A strong win on that date would net a candidate a plethora of delegates and put the person in a good position to become the Democratic nominee.
