Bloomberg Bid Haunted by GOP Skeletons

Michael Bloomberg’s debut 2020 campaign ad touts that he “took charge” of New York City in the wake of 9-11, Politico reports.

“What Bloomberg doesn’t mention: He leaned heavily on an endorsement from Rudy Giuliani, the then-New York City mayor who is now President Trump’s personal attorney, to win that post. Bloomberg trumpeted his support in TV advertising and direct mail, chastising his Democratic opponent for being ‘no friend of Rudy Giuliani.'”

“Giuliani is just one of many skeletons in Bloomberg’s partisan closet. As he pursues the Democratic nomination, he’ll have to explain away the millions he’s spent putting Republicans into office, including contributions backing more than a dozen current and former Republican members of Congress.”
