Former New York mayor and billionaire Mike Bloomberg is set to meet with several executive Wall Street influencers and mega donors on his home turf Thursday, ABC News has learned.
He will meet with long-time hedge fund managers, bundlers and those in the private equity sphere.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg's team has been phoning donors and those on the "high-up" business world call list, asking them to support the DNC directly, as well as state and down-ballot candidates.
ABC News has confirmed the meeting and the calls both with the Bloomberg campaign and outside sources aware of the calls, as well as those who were called themselves.
The meeting will be for Bloomberg to rally well-moneyed leaders to back Democratic causes on both a national and state level.
"He'll encourage giving to state parties and the DNC to support efforts across the country to make sure Donald Trump does not get a second term," Bloomberg spokesman Marc LaVorgna said in a statement to ABC News.

However, Wall St. already knows who they like. And who they don't.
Sounds like a conflict of interest on steroids...
Some ‘Republican’ he is. Not that that’s news to any of us.
a billionaire asking other people for money to run for president...I dont remember Trump doing that.
“Former New York mayor and billionaire Mike Bloomberg is set to meet with several executive Wall Street influencers and mega donors on his home turf Thursday, ABC News has learned.” I.e., the scum of the earth.
Crony capitalists of a feather stick together....
Bloomburg is tineared when it comes to popular support, but he is skilled in throwing his money around to get what he wants. If he can’t buy the voters, he can buy all the politicians and bundlers and dry up any funding streams for other candidates. It might get him closer to the nomination, but the Democrats already watched this same thing play out with way better optics in 2016.
Since you can spend as much as you want on your own campaign, they can skirt the intentions of all of the campaign finance laws. They are hoping that they can buy ALL of the airtime available so that there will be absolutely no Trump campaign ads on tv or radio.
An authoritarian Jewish dwarf from New York City who runs around raising Wall Street money to undermine President Trump is just going to reinforce a giant stereotype among a lot of Deplorables.
Bloomberg pushing Wall Street execs, mega donors to back DNC fundraising
Sounds like the first cousin to quid-pro-quo.
If I remember correctly he said he would finance his campaign entirely.
Not smart Not smart at all to finance the DNC (whose candidates want to take the rest of whatever you’ve managed to save for your family).
Go suck an egg, Nurse Bloomberg.
Remember, when you give a Democratic politician money, it immediately loses its value. /semi-sarc
DemRats have their own, elitist billionaire Nanny Doomberg. Will Fauxohontas want to levy a punish the rich tax on him on the debate stages? Gonna be fun the Rat dynamics in 2020.
He has zero chance.
Why throw your $$$ away.
BOURGEOIS SOCIALISTS -Even the commies hated them.- Communist Manifesto p.49
A part of the bourgeoisie is desirous of redressing social grievances, in order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society.
To this section belong economists, philanthropists, humanitarians, improvers of the condition of the working class, organisers of charity, members of societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, temperance fanatics, hole-and-corner reformers of every imaginable kind. This form of Socialism has, moreover, been worked out into complete systems.
We may site Proudhon’s Philosophie de la Misere as an example of this form.
The Socialistic bourgeois want all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom. They desire the existing state of society minus its revolutionary and disintegrating elements.
Work harder slaves. Socialism is Legal Plunder - Bastiat “The Law”
Our overlords, our BOURGEOIS SOCIALISTS live large, don’t they?
Bourgeois socialist with Napoleon characteristics. Run, mike, run.
There’s apparently some new DNC rule where you have to have a certain percentage of “grass roots” donations to be in the debates and some other things, and they weren’t going to change the rules for him. Certainly not wall street people. But I thought it would be interesting what he does about that
Heavy duty Coercion!
Well, he could just pass out razor blades so the donors could beat the higher taxes; or, maybe, intimate that a victorious Rat candidate would look favorably on tax provisions that would benefit them while draining the rest of the country.
