But Bloomberg's communications director would not confirm or deny the report.
"We are focused on the primary and the debate, not VP speculation,' Jason Schechter, the campaign's communications director, said in a statement.
Clinton won the Democratic nomination in 2016, but lost to Donald Trump in the general election.
Shortly after Drudge reported the news, Bloomberg tweeted a random message touting that he supports women in the workplace.
“I would not be where I am today without the talented women around me. I've depended on their leadership, their advice and their contributions," he wrote. "As I've demonstrated throughout my career, I will always be a champion for women in the workplace."
