Here’s a look at what happened on the campaign trail this week. Michael R. Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor, in Orlando, Fla., in February.Joe Burbank/Orlando Sentinel, via Associated Press And then there were 18?

According to his advisers, he has not definitively decided to run for president, but the paperwork was necessary to keep the possibility alive, because Friday was Alabama’s filing deadline. Arkansas and New Hampshire have deadlines next week, and Team Bloomberg says it plans to meet those, too. If Mr. Bloomberg does enter the race, it will bring the Democratic field back to 18 candidates, the largest ever. For the past week or so, it was merely tied with the 2016 Republican field. - Our colleague Alexander Burns [broke the news](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfqTCXP0T5aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8xMS8wNy91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9taWNoYWVsLWJsb29tYmVyZy1wcmVzaWRlbnQtMjAyMC5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9b24tcG9saXRpY3Mgd2l0aCBsaXNhIGxlcmVyJmVtYz1lZGl0X2NuXzIwMTkxMTA5P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzNzUxJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTg2NjQmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyVwNueXRCCgAkl6vGXZBBVoRSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) of Mr. Bloomberg’s possible campaign and [has some more details here](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfqTCXP0T0aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8xMS8wOC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9taWNoYWVsLWJsb29tYmVyZy1wcmVzaWRlbnQuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW9uLXBvbGl0aWNzIHdpdGggbGlzYSBsZXJlciZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbl8yMDE5MTEwOT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMzc1MSZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE4NjY0JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MlcDbnl0QgoAJJerxl2QQVaEUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). - Here’s a rundown of [primary filing deadlines](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfqTCXP0TxaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8xMS8wOC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy8yMDIwLXByaW1hcmllcy1kZWFkbGluZXMuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW9uLXBvbGl0aWNzIHdpdGggbGlzYSBsZXJlciZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbl8yMDE5MTEwOT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMzc1MSZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE4NjY0JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MlcDbnl0QgoAJJerxl2QQVaEUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). - We’re [tracking the full presidential field here](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfqTCXP0T7aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAxOS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy8yMDIwLXByZXNpZGVudGlhbC1jYW5kaWRhdGVzLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1vbi1wb2xpdGljcyB3aXRoIGxpc2EgbGVyZXImZW1jPWVkaXRfY25fMjAxOTExMDk_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTM3NTEmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xODY2NCZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTJXA255dEIKACSXq8ZdkEFWhFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).
