Failed presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is reportedly dishing out millions of dollars to help Joe Biden secure two swing votes, according to Fox News.
“Mike looked at the polling data and it was clear that Texas and Ohio are in play for Biden. He is investing in expanding the map, beyond the ‘blue wall’ to places like Florida, Texas and Ohio, where it’s close but a win could make a big difference,” Kevin Sheekey, a top Bloomberg political adviser, told Fox News.
Bloomberg has reportedly spent $15 million to run ads in Texas and Ohio, in favor of Joe Biden.
From Fox Business:
Texas and Ohio were won by Trump in the 2016 presidential election, but public opinion polls indicate it’s a close contest in both states – which combined have 56 electoral votes up for grabs.
The news comes two days after Bloomberg announced that he’d shell out an additional $20 million on behalf of down-ballot candidates in the battlegrounds of Arizona, North Carolina and Texas who share his views on combating climate change.
Bloomberg spent more than $1 billion on his own four-month unsuccessful Democratic presidential primary bid.
