Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is bringing his late bid for the 2020 White House Tuesday to the heart of the Deep South in Jackson, Mississippi.
He made brief stops in Virginia and Phoenix before Thanksgiving, but takes to the campaign trail with regularity beginning this week. Bloomberg has been consistently criticized by criminal justice advocates for the New York Police Department's policy of"stop and frisk" during his time as mayor. He had long defended the positive effect his administration’s measures had on crime rates in New York, but some have cited the negative impact the policy had on police-community relations -- especially the demoralizing and dehumanizing impact among young black and brown men.
Bloomberg has a lot of ground to make up with many of his fellow 2020 contenders already having been on the trail for most of 2019. He’s made up for it by buying time -- literally. He immediately launched a historic $37 million ad buy.
