Michael Bloomberg is starting to put his money where his mouth is.

Aides to the Democratic billionaire said Thursday that Bloomberg will spend $5.4 million on a weeklong TV ad campaign in Florida, part of his pledge to help Joe Biden win the all-important presidential battleground state.

The ads will begin airing this weekend on broadcast TV in all 10 of the state’s media markets, aides said, and will criticize President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

medicare and social security....during a pandemic, no less.

11. I dont see it. Without Florida Trump loses.

They are playing some kind of head fake game. Not sure what their scheme is. Maybe just to keep their supporters optimistic even in the face of obvious defeat.

13. Exactly. Takeaway is Drumpf contemplating Florida already as Biden win!

9. Thanks Mr. Bloomberg. I know that you won't see my thanks (or others here on DU), but ...

we appreciate any and all help to get this scumbag out of the WH. I wish you the best!

14. Ditto.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

10. I hope he helps to defeat Mitch and Lindsey too.

12. I hope to Dog they reach out to Latino voters.

There's a huge disparity between Rump and Biden with Latino voters. If Bloomberg could do anything to help close the gap in that area it would be a tremendous assist to the Biden/Harris campaign. Latino voters are told nothing but lies about Joe Biden, and they need a good solid dose of the truth! Latino voters fear socialism in American politics, because so many of them came from socialistic countries. Rump has been filling their heads that Joe Biden is a socialist, and the U.S. will become a socialist country if Biden/Harris win the election. Nothing could be further from the truth. I wonder how they'd like living in a fascist dictatorship, because that's GUARANTEED if Donald Rump wins re-election.

15. What do the ads look like?

Are they better than the Lincoln Project's ads?
