Mike Bloomberg is rehiring hundreds of staffers in 6 swing states to help the Democratic nominee

Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg is forming a new independent expenditure campaign to boost the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2020 election, The Washington Post reported.

According to the report, Bloomberg is rehiring hundreds of his now defunct campaign's staffers in six swing states to help elect the Democratic nominee in the November general election against President Donald Trump.

Bloomberg posted a video on his official Twitter account on Thursday foreshadowing the hefty role he plans to take on in the coming months.

"We're not done with you yet, Donald," the tweet said.

If you mean he's trying to rebuild his legacy after Warren tore him apart in the debates, I don't think it's that. He was already committed to doing this.

I am grateful for it, don't get me wrong, but it's probably about more than legacy. He also wants to remain influential.

I was not a fan of his Presidential Campaign, but I approve of this. If a private citizen with money wants to buy ads and build organizations in swing states to help Democratic Candidates, I am all for it.

And I agree, he doesn't owe anyone anything. He doesn't have to spend his money if he doesn't want to.
