In the United States, the possible candidacy of Michael Bloomberg in the presidential election is clarified. He just spent millions on an ad campaign in key states, even though the billionaire still holds the suspense.
With our correspondent in New York, Loubna Anaki
It's been three weeks since Michael Bloomberg let the rumors run, but it would be only a matter of hours before his candidacy for the Democratic primary is officially announced.
Proof of this is the $ 31 million that the former mayor of New York just spent to advertise on TV in New York, Los Angeles or small towns like Biloxi in Mississippi. An amount that alone exceeds the total of what other Democratic candidates have spent so far for their campaign.
No doubt a way for Michael Bloomberg to show his potential rivals his financial strength and how far he is willing to go to win if he starts the race. Last week, the billionaire had already announced an anti-Trump advertising campaign for $ 100 million on the internet. Funds that come from his personal fortune.
A strategy strongly criticized by the majority of the Democratic candidates. Bernie Sanders says to himself, " disgusted that Michael Bloomberg or any other millionaire thinks he can circumvent the electoral process and buy the election ". The advertising campaign of Michael Bloomberg could be broadcast next week. Some experts believe he could announce his candidacy Monday, November 25.
