Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg spent more than $1 billion on his failed presidential campaign, more than both Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and President Trump in all of 2016.

Bloomberg spent a total of more than $1.2 billion on his bid for the White House in 2020, according to 2019 and 2020 Federal Election Commission filings. More than $1 billion of that was spent in 2020 alone before the former mayor dropped out of the race at the beginning of March.

The former 2020 candidate, who self-funded his campaign, outspent Clinton’s and Trump’s totals from the last election year.


Clinton spent a total of $969.1 million in 2016, with super-PACs boosting her total to $1.18 billion. Trump spent $531 million in 2016, and super-PACs brought the total to $616.5 million, Bloomberg News reported.

Bloombeg announced his presidential bid at the end of November, meaning his campaign lasted a little more than three months.

Now, now, just think of all the advertising people, the design folks, etc. that Bloomberg and other failed candidates paid to do this stuff...

They need jobs, too.

(Now, for extra credit, figure out who was related to the candidates, were family friends, etc....)
