Michael Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor now running for president, will donate $10 million on Thursday to the reelection campaigns of vulnerable Democratic House members.

A senior campaign aide to Bloomberg told The Hill in an email on Wednesday that the billionaire is donating the funds to House Majority PAC to protect the lawmakers from Republican attacks over their support for impeachment.

“Sadly Republicans are more interested in protecting the president than the Constitution,” the Democratic presidential candidate said in a statement.

“Fortunately House Democrats are holding the President accountable, and they need resources to stay in office,” added Bloomberg, who has already spent tens of millions on a presidential campaign that was launched just weeks ago.

Decisions around targeting and messaging will be made by the House Majority PAC, according to The Washington Post, which first reported the $10 million donation.
