Bloomberg pledges to help Biden and to spend 'whatever it takes' to defeat Trump
Taking aim at President Donald Trump on Twitter Thursday, former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg tweeted an edited video mashup splicing together movie clips and dialogue to deliver the message that Democrats would unseat Trump next fall — ending with the hashtags"#Dump Trump" and"Go Joe."
The move comes after the former New York City mayor, who spent $600 million of his own money before ending his own White House bid on Wednesday, vowed to use his vast financial resources to help boost Biden and spend"whatever it takes" to defeat the sitting president. Politically it remains to be seen when Bloomberg will begin his work. A careful reading of his statement doesn’t rule out attacking Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the primary to help Biden win the nomination.
Sanders on Wednesday appeared to relish Bloomberg's support for Biden and continued to use the billionaire former mayor of New York as a foil for his calls for a political revolution, while acknowledging that Bloomberg has the right to run negative ads about Donald Trump and fund get out the vote and voter registration efforts."It's his money. He has a right to do that," Sanders said during a nearly hour-long interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Wednesday.
It might not even be necessary depending on how the rest of the primary plays out given Biden’s expected strength in some of the upcoming contests.
