Former NYC mayor and presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg will commit $100 million in Florida so Joe Biden could win the state.

A spokeswoman from Bloomberg’s camp said in a statement that the large donation will be used to win votes for Joe Biden in Florida by using various media such as television and digital ads. As reported by NBC News, the primary focus is on Hispanic voters and its goal is to allow the Biden campaign to spend its own money in other important states. This new plan will apparently force Trump’s campaign team to primarily focus on Florida by spending more money and it will leave them to spend less on other key states.
Senior Bloomberg advisor Kevin Sheekey said the former mayor is committed to defeating Trump, “Mike’s substantial investment in Florida, in addition to his contributions to the DNC and to voter protection and restoration efforts this cycle, will mean Democrats and the Biden campaign can invest even more heavily in other key states like Pennsylvania, which will be critical to a Biden victory.”

President Trump responded to the news earlier this morning in a tweet calling Bloomberg “Mini Mike” and assumed the billionaire was done associating himself with the Democratic Party.
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.
