Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is planning on spending at least $100 million in the crucial battleground state of Florida in support of Democratic nominee Joe Biden, according to a source familiar with the plans.
Last week a NBC News/Marist College poll showed the race in a dead heat in the Sunshine State with Biden and President Donald Trump each garnering support of 48% of likely voters."Mike Bloomberg is committed to helping defeat Trump, and that is going to happen in the battleground states.
The Washington Post, which first reported Bloomberg's expected expenditure, said the one-time Democratic presidential candidate decided to put in that large of an amount in Florida after it was reported in the New York Times and later confirmed by Trump that he is prepared to spend millions in support of his reelection effort, according to advisers. One area of concern for Democrats is Biden's current under-performing among Florida Hispanics.
