Bloomberg to launch national Jewish voter coalition in Florida

[left-of-center2012]

Untethered to the tight Democratic primary race in the looming Iowa caucuses, presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg is making a Florida visit this weekend that should inject some life into the swing state’s listless Democratic primary.

The billionaire and former New York mayor is heading Sunday to Tampa and then Miami, where he is launching a national Jewish voter coalition. The trip is part of his strategy to win the primary by focusing on delegate-rich states with post-February contests, such as California, Texas and Florida. Florida’s primary is March 17.

“We view Florida as a key battleground state,” said Scott Kosanovich, the Bloomberg campaign’s Florida state director, noting Florida’s importance in the hunt to win the Democratic nomination and the November election. “Florida is a key state. We know Donald Trump has no pathway to be reelected that doesn’t go through Florida.”

During his Aventura stops, he plans to launch a national Jewish coalition, United for Mike. And in Wynwood, where he’ll meet with campaign volunteers, he’ll be joined by his Florida co-chairman, former Miami Mayor Manny Diaz, and by former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, who is also expected to introduce Bloomberg in Aventura.

“He’s a get-it-done guy,” said Levine, a former gubernatorial candidate who believes the self-funded Republican-turned-independent-turned-Democrat Bloomberg is the best candidate to win the purple state of Florida and the 2020 election. “Progressives can win districts but centrists win states.”
