Michael Bloomberg is really working his contacts to win presidential support in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

After naming former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter as his national campaign chairman last week, Bloomberg is angling for a key endorsement from Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto, The Post has learned.

The backing of the top Democrat in the heart of the old coal and steel region of western Pennsylvania would be a coup and potentially hurt former Vice President Joe Biden, a Scranton native and front-runner in national polls.

I don’t think Mayor Peduto is very much loved in Pittsburgh.

I don’t know what’s up with him other than pushing for gun control ordinances that are illegal by state law.

That is no endorsement. Bicycle Bill is a total joke in Pittsburgh.

I always figured that Skunk Cabbage installed Bloomberg to cut Biden down and get the pack flattened out...and it looks like that’s just what he’s doing.

That’s needed to open up the DNC Convention and allow her to ride on to the convention floor and be the ‘consensus candidate’ for a rematch against Trump.

Moneybags Bloomberg thinks his money can buy the Presidency. Money may help, but he cooked his goose in Virginia.

Michael Nutter? That’s you’re hole card? This is going to be easier than I thought for Trump.

Bloomberg ads are just attacking Trump... Every time Trump is mentioned, he shows Trump Tower. I'm impressed that he knows Trump is a building. /S 😋
