Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York, will visit Iowa next week as he considers whether to seek the Democratic nomination for president in 2020.

Bloomberg, who has said he will decide whether to run by early next year, will host a panel discussion and a screening for his new climate change film, "Paris to Pittsburgh," on Dec. 4 in Des Moines, the Des Moines Register reported Monday.

The trip will be Bloomberg's first visit to Iowa in this election cycle. The state is home to the Iowa caucuses, which are the first major nominating contest in presidential primaries.

Bloomberg in October visited New Hampshire, which holds the second major nominating contest in the primaries.
