The former Democratic presidential candidate is aiming to free up Joe Biden's campaign to focus on other key battleground states.

WASHINGTON — Former New York City Mayor and 2020 presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg is committing to spend $100 million in Florida to help Joe Biden win the state.

Bloomberg’s $100 million “will be used to turnout voters for Joe Biden in Florida” through a mix of television and digital ads, in both English and Spanish, a spokeswoman for the effort said Sunday, with a key focus on Hispanic voters. The funds will be spent partially through Independence USA, Bloomberg’s personal super PAC. Some of the funds will also be earmarked for other Democratic super PACs and Democratic election efforts in Florida that are already under way.

The goal is to free up the Biden campaign to spend its own money in other key states like Pennsylvania, as well as to force Republicans and Trump’s campaign to spend heavily in Florida, leaving Republicans with less to spend elsewhere, the spokeswoman said.
