Michael Bloomberg interrupted his own speech at the Harlem headquarters of Al Sharpton's National Action Network, turned to Sharpton and said, "Don't you interview candidates for higher office [here]?"

"Pick a number," replied Sharpton.

Bloomberg responded by telling Sharpton he is not a candidate for higher office.
