If Bloomberg were to drop out, and he follows through with his financial support commitment, how

does he achieve that, without crossing campaign donation rules ?

1. Superpac ? But if he is to offer his existing campaign staff/offices/data team etc, that means no contact with the Biden campaign ?

2. By "Suspending his campaign" can he just give all of the above to work for Biden ?

3 By not suspending his campaign (but not campaigning), he can spend as much as he wants, on whomever he wants ?

primary today, I would vote for:

Issue advocacy (e.g. "get rid of the crooked traitorous moron in the White House" messages) is wide open compared to specific-candidate advocacy.
