Bloomberg to give $18,000,000 to DNC; state parties get his field offices
1 / 2Election 2020 Mike BloombergFormer Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg pauses as he speaks to supporters about the suspension of his campaign, and his endorsement of former Vice President Joe Biden for president, in New York on Wednesday, March 4, 2020. WASHINGTON — Mike Bloomberg is transferring $18 million from his presidential campaign to the Democratic National Committee in the largest single such transfer ever.
One of the world’s wealthiest men with a net worth estimated to exceed $60 billion, Bloomberg promised throughout his campaign that he would help Democrats try to defeat President Donald Trump regardless of how his own White House bid fared. DNC officials said Bloomberg’s money and real-estate transfers would be used to expand the party’s 12-state battleground program, with a focus on hiring additional staffers to work in organizing and data operations. Bloomberg's former campaign employees will not have any advantage in the hiring process, officials said.
In a memo to Perez announcing the transfer, the Bloomberg campaign said that while Trump’s “mismanagement” of the coronavirus crisis should cost him, “we should also not assume that Trump’s incompetence will be enough to make him a one-term President.” The DNC’s battleground effort targets Arizona, Georgia, Ohio, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin. It's a mix of states that have flipped back and forth between the two parties in recent presidential cycles and a fewl that have leaned Republican but are expected to be competitive in November.
