Bloomberg to form new group to help Democratic nominee defeat Trump

Michael Bloomberg has decided to form a new group to take on President Donald Trump, an aide to the former New York mayor tells CNN.

Bloomberg ended his campaign on Wednesday and threw his support behind former Vice President Joe Biden. But, according to the aide, the group Bloomberg plans to build will focus on supporting the Democratic nominee and opposing Trump, not helping Biden in the primary. The group will also support down-ballot Democrats.

The group will be the primary vehicle Bloomberg uses to spend his vast fortune on defeating Trump and backing Democrats, something he pledged to do whether or not he won the party's nomination. Bloomberg is worth well over $50 billion, according to estimates.

The independent expenditure, the aide said, will deploy hundreds of staffers from his presidential campaign to six key swing states: Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
