I had the good fortune to work with Jim Wolfensohn at Salomon Brothers – we left together in 1981, which turned out to be as lucky for him as it was for me.

David Dinkins’s groundbreaking mayoral victory in 1989 helped New York City turn an important corner in racial equality.

Having lost the election decisively — by 74 votes in the Electoral College, and by 6 million and counting overall — he has availed himself of every imaginable scheme to undermine the vote’s legitimacy and obscure what was plainly a fair and square victory for his opponent, President-elect Joe Biden.

During the presidential campaign, much of the debate around climate change centered on what Congress should do. That’s an important question, but if history is any guide, it will take time for Congress to settle on a bill — and there is no guarantee of success, even if Democrats beat the odds and end up gaining control of the Senate.

Beginning today, the final day before Election Day, Mike Bloomberg’s Independence USA PAC began airing a new TV ad, “New Leadership,” which shows clearly that Joe Biden is the leader America needs to see us through the COVID-19 pandemic and economic fallout made worse by Donald Trump.

Director Deon Taylor (Black & Blue, Fatale) and founder of BE WOKE.VOTE with his partner Roxanne Avent Taylor (producer, Black & Blue, Fatale) is taking to the streets of Florida to encourage the Black and Brown community to go out to the polls via their new “THIS IS WHY I VOTE” initiative ahead of this Tuesday’s election. This endeavor includes the creation of videos from Black and Brown men from Florida cities, including Miami, Tallahassee, Orlando and Tampa, as well as actors, musicians, athletes and artists explaining why they will be voting this year.

This week, Mike Bloomberg’s Independence USA PAC began airing five ads in markets across Texas including, “Like We’ve Never Seen It,” “Texas On The Rise” “Valentia,” “Picture” and “Economy.” The TV ads are part of an effort to encourage voters to cast their ballots for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in Texas. 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. All TV ads will run statewide on broadcast and cable. “Like We’ve Never Seen It” and “Rebuild” highlight how Donald Trump has disappointed Ohio voters and why Joe Biden is best fit to lead the country.

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.
