Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York, is spending $5 million to air an ad in support of Democratic candidates ahead of this week's midterms, he announced Sunday.
The ad, which features Bloomberg urging voters to support Democrats on Tuesday, will first air Sunday during CBS’s “60 Minutes" and again Monday on the major broadcast networks as well as on CNN and MSNBC.
Bloomberg, a possible 2020 presidential candidate, says in the video ad that he "has never been a particularly partisan person" but adds that voters need to send a message to Republicans "that they have failed to lead."
“I’ve never been a particularly partisan person. I’ve supported candidates rom both sides. But at this moment, we must send a signal to Republicans in Washington that they have failed to lead, failed to find solutions and failed to bring us together. That’s why I’m voting Democratic," he says.
