The new $100 million commitment in Florida will be routed through one of Mr. Bloomberg’s super PACs, Independence USA, as well as other Democratic groups, according to a spokeswoman. The effort is expect to emphasize communications with Hispanic voters, the spokeswoman said.
Mr. Bloomberg’s appearance at the Democratic National Convention last month reignited criticism from some in the party that he had not given directly to Mr. Biden’s campaign after spending nearly $1 billion on his own bid for the nomination. Since dropping out of the race, he has also committed tens of millions of dollars to supporting House Democrats.
In response to the news of his latest pledge on Sunday, Mr. Trump ridiculed Mr. Bloomberg on Twitter, calling his participation in the Democratic primary debates “the most inept debate performance in the history of presidential politics.”
“Save NYC instead,” the president wrote.
