ALBANY — Senate Republicans have lost a big weapon in their fight against the Democrats for control of the chamber: former Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Bloomberg was the single largest donor to the Senate Republican Campaign Committee during his three terms in office — but since leaving City Hall, he hasn’t given a dime.

Between 2003 and 2013, Bloomberg donated a whopping $2.24 million to the Senate Republicans as the GOP was fighting to keep control of the chamber.

Bloomberg’s closed checkbook isn’t only affecting Senate Republicans — he has also given nothing to the Assembly Democrats, who received $250,000 from Bloomberg two years ago.
