Even as most 2020 contenders gear up for the Iowa caucuses, theyve got a weather eye on the March horizon: Super Tuesday. While many look forward on the calendar, though, Mike Bloomberg is already all over the map.
Starting Monday, Bloomberg's campaign will be swelling its already aggressive ground game even further, telling ABC News exclusively that it will begin sending out its first mailers -- yes, physical paper letters -- to 2.5 million registered Democratic voters across every single Super Tuesday state.
The campaign's move pays unprecedented attention on parts of the country that normally get neglected during the Democratic primary process, especially this early on. And with Bloomberg making stops in Vermont and Maine on Monday afternoon, he will have visited every Super Tuesday state before most of his rivals have left Iowa.
The letters are part of Bloomberg's unorthodox, innovative strategy, which he's taken from the start in his late bid for the White House. He bypassed the four early states altogether and has focused on delegate-rich spots up for grabs in March, like Texas, California and Florida. Moreover, hes specifically honing in on the swing states President Donald Trump picked up in 2016 that Democrats should have won, like Ohio or Michigan.
Bloombergs energetic efforts at outreach demonstrate an immense appetite for seeking voters where they live, and showing his commitment. His campaigns first mailers further that courtship; they're an acknowledgement and respect for a constituency that may often feel overlooked by those who eventually come calling for their votes.
Bloomberg has also pledged that even if he does not get the Democratic nomination, he and his assets will stay in the race to help boost whoever does win, which he has said is an investment in beating Trump.
