Billionaire presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg spent more than $463 million in the first two months of his campaign, a report filed to the Federal Election Commission reveals.

The former New York Mayor poured $220 million of his own money into his campaign in January alone, including $126.5 million on TV ads and $45.5 million on online advertising.

Bloomberg pledged at the start of his Democratic campaign bid to only use his own cash and take no outside donations, which he has stuck to.

The new campaign disclosure shows that Bloomberg's campaign spent on average around $7 million per day in January.

He started with $60B. He can spend $30B without any effect on his life. I’d love to see him do that (and more) . . . and still lose.

He did get three write-in votes in Dixville Notch. That's about $154 Million per vote. Not a very good investment! Who's his advisor?

Just think how many votes Andrew Yang could have bought with that!

This will give his campaign MSM favored status.

Don’t care if he can write it off as a tax loss. Unable to get real across-the-board tax cuts, I’m all for whatever tax deductions/credits anyone can get.

Whatever his politics, Bloomie just dumped a half-billion dollars into the economy, employing lots of people - far more productive than the $0.5B would be in gov’t hands.

Why aren’t the Democrats in Congress demanding that Bloomberg release his tax returns for the past 10-12 years like they have with President Trump?

Gonna be a very expensive election for the Democrats to lose.

Yep, but a boost for the economy among the entities that supply
campaign services.

Recent comment by Biden about who will “own” the Democrat Party made during an event

Freudian slip or an actual fact

Betting is on Mikey being the “power behind the throne” and in return he is the “Kingmaker” not the candidate who dances to his tune...

He has money to Burn Bernie as he knows if Bernie wins Dems will not vote for him in sufficient numbers or stay home as they cannot stomach him. BS is favored by the malcontents who fear the “party” is ending and he is the last chance. Biden was the “safe” choice but his brain and mouth are never in the same gear

The overall Globalist Open Society plan funded by Soros is in danger of failing and they are desperate to get the win...

Desperate times call for desperate measures and there are Princes and Princesses fighting for the crown but hope is fading...

Need more popcorn, enjoy the show

The Best is yet to come!

Do the people making these ad buys take into account the fact that saturating every commercial during every newscast on every station in a given TV market might repulse some voters instead of attracting them?

He’s paying $2,500.00 a month for people to promote him on social media sites.

I wonder how he will monitor everyone. Might be an opportunity to implement an “Operation Chaos” mission and get paid by Mini-Mike to undermine his diabolical plan.

Good time to buy stocks of TV business where mini-mike is shoveling money for Ads to make up for his lack of charisma.

He is making a huge appeal to Boomers. He is all over nostalgia channels like METV, H&I, TVLAND,FOLK, Hallmark. As the ad from Dennison clothes in Jersey would claim on Bob Lewis’ overnight on 77WABC, Money talks. Nobody walks. Bloomie absoluty can but the White House.
