On 9/21/20 at 10:12 AM EDTThe news that former New York City mayor and presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg was set to drop $100 million into the critical battleground state of Florida in the final 50 days, with a"focus" on Latino voters, set off a political earthquake in perhaps the most important state on the electoral map.
Aldrede noted that Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, a fierce supporter of President Trump, is vulnerable because of his mishandling of the COVID-19 response. Trump, in his trademark way, made clear her qualifications were at least partly political, when asked about Lagoa on Saturday by reporters. "The beauty of the Bloomberg approach," the source told Newsweek,"is you don't have to necessarily pick, you can do both."
It was quickly forgotten at the time because he lost, but Bloomberg spent an unprecedented $30 million in a bilingual direct mail blitz to Latinos ahead of Super Tuesday, pouring money into Texas and California, while sparing no expense to hire paid canvassers in both states. New Florida Majority, which is part of the largest independent expenditure in the state, like others jockeying behind the scenes, would like to be a recipient of Bloomberg's largesse. The investment is welcome, the group told, because Spanish-language media is becoming prohibitively expensive in major media markets, especially in the I-4 corridor, home to many transplanted Puerto Ricans, where rates are"through the roof because everyone wants to reach Puerto Ricans.
Latinos that love their birth countries more than America. Multiculturalism is slowly killing America. MM arr
👏👏👏👏
This is outrageous one person can bye a President. Dont care whose side your own.
Whatever it takes now, I don't care. VOTE THIS SLIMEBALL OUT.
There are a lot of Puerto Rican voters in Florida. They are AMERICANS who had to leave their island because trump did nothing to help them, even though they are our fellow citizens This ought to be one of the main focuses of his efforts
