New York City’s former Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that he’s going to spend a fortune to help Biden attempt to edge out Trump in the battleground state of Florida.
The failed Democratic presidential candidate spent a billion dollars on his own campaign, then flamed out at the 100-day mark and endorsed Biden. In February, Biden criticized Bloomberg’s campaign saying, “$60 billion can buy you a lot of advertising, but it can’t erase your record.”

Ironically, now that recent poll numbers indicate Biden and Trump are deadlocked in the Sunshine State, Bloomberg will be buying a lot of advertising to support his former rival.
Bloomberg’s reportedly $100 million cash infusion will go towards television and digital ads, in both English and Spanish, targeting Hispanic voters. Biden’s current support amongst the state’s Latino population is relatively low and considered to be vital to take the state.
Mail-in voting is scheduled to begin in Florida on September 24, and early in-person voting runs from October 19 to November 1. It is estimated that 75 percent of the state’s voting may be completed before Election Day. Biden is scheduled to visit Florida on Tuesday for the first time since March.
Bloomberg’s advisors hope his investment, which comes on the heels of early September reports that the president will be financing $100 million towards his own campaign, will free up Democratic funds to support Biden’s campaign efforts in other battleground states. “This will force Republicans and the Trump campaign to shift even more of their limited resources to Florida,” Bloomberg’s press release stated.
President Trump tweeted a brutal response to Bloomberg’s investment news. “I thought Mini Mike was through with Democrat politics after spending almost 2 Billion Dollars, and then giving the worst and most inept Debate Performance in the history of Presidential Politics,” he criticized. “Save NYC instead.”

Sorry Mike, go ahead and throw your money away. It won’t help. President Trump will take Florida easily. Dwell on it,as I’m sure you will.
Yes, but perhaps it is going for people who harvest votes?
where ever there are democrats cheating is second nature. Just look at my state of California they have ruined it completely just like the dems have done to NY.
President TRUMP has FLORIDA For SURE!! Floridians Are a SMART Bunch of People!!!
MINI Mike, try & safe that demonRat city !
what a low class idiot. NY what can you expect from that state only loser democrats. Anybody that votes for AOC has lost their minds.Every one of their leaders are the most destructive idiots for America.
Go ahead and toot your horn, Little Caesar. The people couldn’t care less.
a fool and his money soon part
Unfortunately he’s got too much! Hope the Justice Dept checks it out and sees voter fraud and gives him at least a huge Fine and maybe jail?
Thank You Russ ,Great Quote !
Any American who votes for Biden or any democract doesn’t care about themselves or this country. Might as well go back to wherever they came from since Americans don’t like freedom likes to be controlled. I am hoping the democracts lose everything they got with this election and wind up in jail
Doesn’t that exceed campaign contribution limits? How can one person have so much influence on a single state election?
Rich commie prick. That is all. No further explanation required.
I am sorry to see that some folks hate Donald Trump more than they love our country
There’s 100mil that could be put to a better use…
just spending money will not buy votes. How did Bloomberg get so much money in the first place – he’s an idiot!
Makes you wonder why they ALL fear Trump so much. Right, I said FEAR not hate. They come off like they hate him but the smell of fear is all over them.
Obviously this fool hasn’t ‘been parted enough’ of his money…he should at least double that amount…double or nothing?
It’s mini Mikes money to throw away at his discretion. But, if he thinks that he will be able to convince people from Cuba that socialism is the way to go…… they won’t buy it. They lived it. Socialism killed many of their family members. Socialism made sure they wen t without food, water, a change of clothes. Proud people of Cuba will not go back to the hate and terror of socialism.
What an effing scumbag and he tried to run for President? We’ve had him figured out a long time ago and he was a Republican before he was a DemocRAT!! He is a disgrace!!
ExRINO? He is a full fledged communist!
Well well well another Asshole heard from you know can’t stand our President Donald J Trump and that’s why he tried running for president but nobody likes him he’s a Jerkoff remember what he did in New York with the soda and how he changed rules so he could serve another term as mayor of New York from two terms to three
BLOOMBERG is an ASSHOLE – GIVE THE MONEY TO THE POOR INSTEAD OF WASTING IT ON BIDEN– ALSO WHY DOESN’T HE SPEND THE MONEY ON RUNNING FOR MAYOR OF NEW YORK AGAIN?????
Hell awaits you.
Just another rich piece of dung trying to buy votes.
Bloomberg is spending all that dough to try to get a Cubans to support a communist.
Delicious.
