Hedge fund titan Bill Ackman said that he would do "anything in his power" to get former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg elected president.

"My view is that Michael Bloomberg is going to run for president and Michael Bloomberg is going to win," Ackman said.

"I know I'm at the Bloomberg conference, but I'll just say what I think."

Bloomberg, 73, has not said that he would run.

Ackman revealed his views while speaking with Bloomberg TV's Stephanie Ruhle at Bloomberg Market's Most Influential summit on Tuesday.
