The president of the United States, Trump, has to dress warmly for the next days of the election campaign: His competitor receives $ 100 million from a former candidate who is still ridiculed by the incumbent.
According to a media report, billionaire Michael Bloomberg wants to support US presidential candidate Joe Biden’s election campaign in Florida with at least $ 100 million. The Washington Post reported Sunday, citing advisers to former New York Mayor Bloomberg, who was defeated by former Vice President Biden in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Florida could be decisive
Biden will run against Republican President Donald Trump in the November 3 presidential election. Florida is a transitional state that cannot be clearly assigned to either party. Florida, therefore, could be one of the decisive states in the elections. According to polls, Biden and Trump go head-to-head there. Trump had narrowly won against Democrat Hillary Clinton in Florida in 2016.
Trump scoffed on Twitter Sunday at Bloomberg’s exit from the presidential bid: “I thought Mini Mike was done with the politics of the Democrats.” Trump referred to the high expenses that Bloomberg spent in his failed election campaign and the “worst and most incompetent” performance that a candidate has shown in the debates of the candidates for the candidacy. According to US media reports, Bloomberg had invested nearly $ 1 billion of his personal assets in his election campaign.

The “New York Times” reported a week ago that Trump’s campaign team was under heavy cost pressure due to high spending. Other US media had also reported that the Trump campaign had already spent much of its funds despite massive donations. Trump then announced last week that he would also use money from his private assets for his re-election if necessary.
“I would do that if I had to, but we are in a very good position,” Trump said last Tuesday, referring to the finances of his campaign team. This currently has “much more money” available than at the same time in the 2016 election campaign.
