Michael Bloomberg has snagged a big-name endorsement in the critical voting state of Pennsylvania
.
Michael Nutter, a longtime Hillary Clinton supporter and mayor of Philadelphia from 2008 through 2016, has been tapped as national political chair for Bloomberg’s still-developing campaign for the Democratic nomination. In that role, he will advise on strategy and travel around the country in a surrogate role.Pennsylvania is critical for any Democrat seeking to defeat President Donald Trump next year: Barack Obama won the state in 2008 and 2012, only to see Clinton lose it to Trump in 2016.
Realizing that as a centrist billionaire he is unlikely to win over left-leaning Democrats just on the strength of his financial commitments to climate change and gun control, Bloomberg’s campaign has poured more than $100 million of his own personal wealth into a blitz of ads that underscore his managerial experience.
Bloomberg called Nutter “an innovative mayor who made one of America’s biggest cities stronger and safer.” He will head to Philadelphia on Saturday to open his first field office in the state there. He will then go to Detroit and Milwaukee, both in battleground states, to set up headquarters there as well. This is all being done in the service of generally skipping the first four voting states and instead focusing on Super Tuesday.
