Bloomberg Spends $ 100 Million on Advertising Against Trump

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has not yet officially confirmed whether or not he will be a candidate in the 2020 elections, but on Friday, 15, he launched a $ 100 million ad campaign against US President Donald Trump .

The billionaire, the eighth largest fortune in the world according to Forbes magazine , confirmed in a tweet the launch of the campaign, initially announced by his adviser Howard Wolfson to The New York Times .

Digital advertisements, which do not mention Bloomberg but focus on criticism of Trump, run in four key states in the White House race: Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Voters in these places often alternate their votes, and sometimes elect Republican presidents, sometimes Democrats.

A Bloomberg spokesman said last week that the former mayor is considering running for the Democratic Party's nomination because he is concerned about the race's direction and fears a Trump victory. The billionaire considers former Vice President Joe Biden's candidacy weak and sees Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders as too radical.

Although he did not formally announce his entry into the dispute, his aides eventually filled in the required documents for Bloomberg to compete in the Alabama State primaries in March.
