Bloomberg to send mailers to 2.5 million voters across Super Tuesday states

Democratic presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg's campaign is set to send 2.5 million mailers out to primary voters across Super Tuesday states on Monday.

The mailers, which were first reported by ABC News, are the first Bloomberg has sent out during the primary.

A campaign aide told the network that the letter is aimed at introducing Bloomberg to voters, highlighting the billionaire's record as New York mayor and as a philanthropist.

“As a three-term mayor of the biggest and one of the most diverse cities in the country, I know how to get things done,” Bloomberg writes. “Believe me when I say from personal experience: There is no problem we cannot solve by working hard and working together.”

The letter also touts Bloomberg's belief he is the best candidate to face off against President Trump in the general election.

“The biggest fight of our lives lies ahead — a fight to beat Trump and rebuild America,” he writes in the letter. "So let's get it done."

The mailers are the latest example of how Bloomberg has poured money into the Super Tuesday states since he joined the crowded Democratic primary field in November.

Bloomberg, who is not fundraising, has already spent $270 million on advertising across the country ahead of the primary contests.

Curious what all the "Bernie is not a Democrat" DUers think about Bloomberg. He was a Republican not too long ago...

Sanders: I don't consider myself a Democrat
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Tuesday night that he still does not consider himself a Democrat despite taking part in a Democratic National Committee (DNC) unity tour with the party's new chairman, Tom Perez.

"No, I'm an Independent," Sanders said when asked by MSNBC's Chris Hayes whether he now identifies as a Democrat.
