Newsweek: Bloomberg Funds Laid-Off Hospitality Workers Door-Knocking to Black, Latino Voters in Florida
October 21, 2020
Former New York City mayor and presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg continues his ground game assault in Florida—this time funding a union whose workers have been devastated by the pandemic—to reach Black and Latino voters. Bloomberg’s $1 million contribution is to UNITE HERE’s Take Back 2020 program, which is employing hundreds of laid-off Florida hospitality workers who are canvassing in Central and South Florida. It is the latest announcement concerning the $100 million cash injection he pledged on behalf of Joe Biden, enabling the Democratic nominee to focus on other states.
