Michael Bloomberg's presidential campaign now employs more than 800 people, according to multiple aides, giving the former New York mayor a nationwide effort that surpasses any other candidate in the Democratic primary
The surge in staffers is particularly remarkable given Bloomberg entered the 2020 field less than two months ago and highlights how the billionaire businessman-turned-politician is willing to spend hundreds of millions to fund his late entry bid.Bloomberg's campaign now includes 500 staffers in more than 30 states and 300 staffers in his New York City headquarters, an aide said. Bloomberg has staff in every Super Tuesday state, where the candidate is focusing his campaign.
Bloomberg's staff has grown so quickly that the team has had to move offices, said an aide to the former mayor, from the Bloomberg Philanthropies building in New York to the old New York Times building on West 43rd Street.Bloomberg has yet to release his fourth quarter fundraising report with the Federal Election Commission. While he has said he is not accepting donations, the report would still provide the first in-depth look at how much the former mayor has spent to fund his operation.
