PA-GOV: Bloomberg bets big on Pennsylvania's Shapiro
It's not an endorsement for president — yet — but billionaire Democratic megadonor Michael Bloomberg is placing chips on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro's reelection campaign.
Why it matters: Bloomberg donated $2.5 million to Shapiro's effort in October — his biggest direct public contribution to a potential 2028 presidential candidate last year, according to campaign finance documents filed this week.
Shapiro would have an edge in a presidential primary if Bloomberg, one of the world's richest people, were to help bankroll a super PAC or other group for him.
Howard Wolfson, a longtime Bloomberg adviser, told Axios the former New York City mayor is "a big fan of Gov. Shapiro and a big believer in his leadership, and thinks he's done a great job for Pennsylvania."
