$4.5 million to Harley Rouda


$2.2 to Mikie Sherrill

$2.2 to Hayley Stephens

Edited to add these donations came in 2018. Endorsements came after.

Some seems to think giving millions to candidates is a good thing. I agree. I however think endorsements coming from those who received millions is suspect. Can't wait to see what Bezos or Zuckerberg do when they run in the next election! But it's all good according to some.

2. good for Bloomberg for helping elect democrats

is sanders sharing his donor list with downticket dems?

[Nanjeanne]

5. Seriously? This is what you get? He could support these people w/o running for Pres.

You call it helping to elect democrats. I call it bribery.

But we are all entitled to our opinions.

7. he donated to their campaigns when they were running for office in 2018

that is helping get democrats elected.

Now about Bernie's donor list has he been sharing it with downticket candidates yet?

[Nanjeanne]

9. No. He donated to one in 2018. The other two was last week.

10. work on reading comprehension...all of the donations were 2018

no bribery. helping with the blue wave.

12. You are right. Rude. But right. Still think the endorsements come with a price tag.

3. Bloomberg has contributed more to House Democrats than all the others COMBINED.

When did supporting Democrats get frowned upon on DU?

4. OMG !

Mike helped Democrats get elected?

[Nanjeanne]

6. No. Mike gave millions when running for President and they endorsed him. When he wasn't

running - he gave his money to Republicans.

11. So he spent millions to help Dems get elected to the House? Well, he should be rewarded

he backed them they should return the favor, I don't like the fact that you need lots of money in this fascist capitalistic system but it is what it is.

13. He does a lot of good with his money.

He could just take his ball and go home, I guess.

15. So what.

Bloomberg is not zuckerberg.
