Bloomberg Shifts Ads to Focus on Impeachment

“Mike Bloomberg plans to shift his television ad message this week to directly call for President Trump’s removal from office, with a new spot that will run in states with Republican senators who face competitive reelection fights this year,” the Washington Post reports.

“The decision to spend money on impeachment ads in the states of vulnerable senators like Cory Gardner (R-CO), Martha McSally (R-AZ), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) fits into a larger strategy by Bloomberg since he started running for the Democratic nomination for president.”

“He has tried to direct spending for his own long-shot presidential bid to also benefit other goals, like defeating Trump in November, even if he is not the nominee, and helping other Democrats down ballot.”
