By Mike Bloomberg Could anyone have doubted that Donald Trump would go out like this?

By Mike Bloomberg During the presidential campaign, much of the debate around climate change centered on what Congress should do.

All TV ads will run statewide on broadcast and cable.

This week, Mike Bloomberg’s Independence USA PAC began airing three ads in Ohio, “Like We’ve Never Seen It,” “Rebuild” and “Economy.” The TV ads are part of an effort to encourage voters to cast their ballots for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in Ohio.

As part of an ongoing advertising partnership powered by Mike Bloomberg’s $100 million investment in Florida to support Joe Biden, Priorities USA Action and Latino Victory Fund are releasing a new Spanish-language TV ad running in Miami through Election Day. The new TV ad, “Character,” demonstrates Donald Trump’s inability to meet this moment and protect the American people while the coronavirus threatens our health and plunges our economy into a depression. The ad presents that “times of crisis reveal character.”

This week, Mike Bloomberg’s Independence USA PAC began airing two new ads, “Like We’ve Never Seen It” and “Middle Class First.” Both TV ads will run statewide on broadcast and cable. With the rise of COVID-19 in Florida, “Like We’ve Never Seen It” highlights Trump’s continued downplaying of the virus and mishandling of the pandemic. “Donald Trump is still ignoring the facts,” the ad says. “With over 220,000 dead, 8 million infected and cases spiking again in Florida, Trump bashes his own medical experts.” “Middle Class First” focuses on Joe Biden’s experience successfully extending tax cuts to Americans as vice president, and his plan to cut taxes for the middle class as president.
