NEW YORK, NEW YORK — This Saturday, January 11, Mike Bloomberg 2020 will organize more than 150 voter engagement events across 27 states, marking Day One of its nationwide campaign to defeat Donald Trump and elect Mike Bloomberg president of the United States. Since launching his campaign, Mike has been focused on engaging voters, winning in every state, and defeating Donald Trump in November. The campaign has already demonstrated organizational strength with more than 500 staff on the ground in more than 30 states.

Day One will mark the full national impact of his unified campaign. These in-state teams are activating networks of supporters who are united in their mission: to win in November and to beat Donald Trump.

"We are bringing together voters from every corner of our nation to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America. President Trump has inflamed hatred and division, betrayed his constitutional oath, weakened our standing in the world, and endangered our country. If he wins another term in office, we may never recover from the damage," said Mike Bloomberg. "Together, we are taking him on in every state and territory, and building a coalition of Americans committed to solving our biggest problems and fixing what's broken in America."

Mike’s campaign and supporters will host more than 150 in-person events in 27 states, from office openings and volunteer trainings, to house parties and block walks. Thousands more supporters will have a chance to get involved online through social media.

As part of the Day One national campaign kickoff on Saturday, Mike will take a bus tour of Texas and meet with supporters and community leaders in San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas. Additional details on the stops will be announced in the coming days.

“Our teams on the ground are in more states at once during primary season than any campaign in history,” said Dan Kanninen, States Director for Mike Bloomberg 2020. “We have organizers, volunteers, and supporters in all corners of states throughout the country. Day One is just the beginning of a nationwide momentum to elect Mike and defeat Donald Trump in November.”

Additional details to be announced.

2. If you are angry at Moscow Mitch and his GOP minions. you should know

that Bloomberg and his endorsements of them when they needed them most (see Pat Toomey in 2016) help explain why Merrick Garland is not on the Supreme court, but Gorsuch and Kavenaugh are. Or why a giant tax cut is in effect that helped destroy Obamacare. Or why the Senate is a graveyard for numerous progressive policies that have passed the House, including gun reform and health care and all the other things Bloomberg pretends to care about in his sleazy Ads.

3. I can't figure out Bloomberg's End Game

He is supposedly horrified that Warren or Bernie will win the nomination …..He must know that he has zero of winning ...He does have the capacity to divide the moderate vote on Super Tuesday and beyond - thus increasing the chance that Bernie or Warren will grab the nomination …(YEAH!) .. ….The press will never press him on this matter, or any other , because they hope to get a future gig working at the well paying Bloomberg & Co …..BTW , Mike is still proud he was such a strong supporter of the Iraq War ..He also lead the charge for a Republican controlled New York State Senate in Albany .….He has about as good a chance of collecting the prize in Milwaukee this summer as Marianne Williamson does ………….VANITY CAMPAIGN ...

4. Taking votes on Super Tuesday doesn't increase the odds for Sanders or Warren

You need an absolute majority of delegates for nomination. Bloomberg may take a share of the moderate vote, but it won't result in additional progressive delegates.
