Former NY City Mayor Mike Bloomberg was speaking at an occasion on the night of Super Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Billionaire and former NY mayor Michael Bloomberg are getting to spend a minimum of $ 100 million on the crucial battlefield in Florida to support Democratic candidate Joe Biden, a source conversant in the plans confirmed to the media.

A poll was made last week showed the race is in scorching heat within Florida as Biden and President Donald Trump garner the support of 48% of potential voters.

“Mike Bloomberg is committed to helping defeat Trump, and this is often getting to happen within the battlefield states. Mike's big investment in Florida, plus his contributions to DNC and his voter protection and restoration efforts during this cycle, will mean the Democrats.” Kevin Schicky, the senior Bloomberg media advisor, told the Biden campaign. It can invest more in other major states like Pennsylvania, which can be decisive for Biden's victory. "

The Washington Post, which first reported on the expected expenditures for Bloomberg, said the one-time Democratic presidential candidate decided to put that enormous amount in Florida after it had been reported within the NY Times and Trump later confirmed that he was willing to spend millions to support his re-election efforts, consistent with advisers.

Trump skilled the news by insulting the previous NY City mayor over his presidential campaign and performance within the debate. "Save my City instead," Trump wrote on Twitter.

With the funding news, the Bloomberg team sends a sign to Biden and other Democrats that they will spend their money elsewhere, publicly announcing what they can't privately coordinate. The move also allows this to happen without observers seeing the Biden campaign resources elsewhere and thinking they're abandoning Florida.

One area of concern for Democrats is Biden's current poor performance among Hispanics in Florida.

An NBC / Marist poll showed that Trump garnered 50% of the Latin choose the state.

One Bloomberg adviser said when asked if the main target of his efforts would get on the Latino electorate. "We're getting to ask every major constituency to win Florida, and clearly Latino voters are going to be the main target. It's getting to be a mixture of direct spending, gifts to Democrats Superbacks, and political efforts already underway in Florida."

Trump now considers Florida its home and has held several events there in recent weeks.

Many political observers argue that the state should be won by Trump so as for him to possess an opportunity to win the election.

Biden advisor Simon Sanders told ABC reporter George Stephanopoulos on Sunday that the campaign teaches "we need to work" to win the support of Latino voters.

Sanders added: "We said from the beginning, and (former) vice-chairman Biden was very clear about this, as Senator (Kamala) Harris did, we are really working to win every choose this country." "We want to win the votes of the Latin and Hispanic community, so we do the work."

She mentioned recent events in both Biden and Harris in Florida and Arizona, two states with large Latino populations, "because we are committed to doing this work."
