Bloomberg promises $ 100 million for Biden’s campaign
Michael Bloomberg is committing at least $ 100 million (£ 78 million) to boost Joe Biden’s presidential campaign in the battleground state of Florida, where early voting opens on September 24.
Bloomberg’s late-stage cash infusion reflects Democrats’ concerns about the tight race in a state that is a top priority for Donald Trump.
A victory for Biden in Florida, the largest of the perennial states on the battlefield, would significantly complicate Trump’s path to reaching the 270 electoral college votes needed to secure a second term.
Bloomberg spent a billion dollars on his own campaign, but he quickly withdrew and ended up supporting Biden.
Yesterday we reported that Trump had made progress in the Sunshine State.

Boris Johnson ‘fascinated’ by Trump’s use of language
The UK prime minister is fascinated by the direct way in which Trump uses language, according to the ousted British ambassador, Sir Kim Darroch.
Sir Kim’s illustrious diplomatic career collapsed in July 2019 when the Sunday mail published leaked confidential memos describing the Trump White House as dysfunctional, incompetent, clumsy and inept.
He says Johnson, who shares a ruthless streak and intense ambition with Trump, is “fascinated” by his counterpart, “particularly Trump’s use of language.”
“He speaks with a simplicity and frankness, also sometimes with divisions, which is something unique.”
There is a similar frankness in the simple slogans – “Take back” and “Get Brexit done” – that helped Johnson win the 2016 Brexit referendum and the 2019 elections.
Sir Kim also told the Associated Press that Johnson may be emulating Trump in his combative approach to the Brexit negotiations.
The former diplomat described a speech by Johnson in 2018 in which the prime minister said “that if Donald Trump had been asked to negotiate Brexit, he would have made some seemingly outrageous and provocative demands all along. There would have been total chaos, a lot of it. “. of harsh words both ways, a lot of noise. But eventually things would have calmed down. And maybe he had a very good result. “
“It’s the chaos theory of negotiation,” said Sir Kim. “Make your negotiating partner think you’re so crazy that you better give him what he wants, because who knows what he’ll do next.”
Sir Kim added in his AP interview that he believed Johnson could be Trump’s best friend in Europe if the latter wins re-election in November. “That relationship could be very close,” said the former ambassador. “I think I would get a free trade deal pretty quickly, albeit one that involves us making serious concessions in agriculture,” he said, such as accepting chlorine-washed chicken, something many in Britain find difficult to swallow.
