Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will spend at least $ 100 million (about € 80 million) to promote Democratic Joe Biden’s presidential campaign in Florida.
The contribution of Bloomberg, who was Biden’s opponent in the Democratic Party’s primary elections, reflects the concerns of opponents of Republican Donald Trump, who is placing a strong stake in the Florida state campaign, which could prove crucial to the outcome presidential elections on November 3.
A Biden victory in Florida would significantly complicate Trump’s goal of reaching the 270 electoral college votes needed to re-run him for a second term in the White House.
Michael Bloomberg spent about a billion dollars (about 800 million euros) on his campaign in the Democratic Party primaries, eventually giving up to endorse Joe Biden’s candidacy.
The Florida election campaign begins on September 24 and a Bloomberg adviser says the investment will be invested mainly in television spots and Internet advertising in favor of Biden.
