Mike Bloomberg's OTHER cash gusher: How he has donated billions to politicians, campaigns and charities - and is now raking in endorsements in return
2020-02-27
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Democratic candidate worth $61 billion has spent billions through Bloomberg Philanthropies and other donations

  • Series of people and organizations he has helped have endorsed his presidential candidacy

  • They include actors Ted Danson and Sam Waterson , who are both on board of ocean conservation charity which Bloomberg donated to

  • John Cougar Mellencamp backed him after recording a song for a 2017 anti-coal documentary

  • Rhode Island's Gina Raimondo was first governor to endorse him; her 2014 election was helped by $1 million from Bloomberg-backed groups

  • Virgin Islands congresswoman Stacey Plaskett endorsed him after donations to help the island recover from tropical storm damage

  • In Pennsylvania, he is hoping to win the state primary with series of endorsements and has given to anti-gun efforts and other campaigns

Maybe that explains the smell?
