Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg would be willing to pump more than $100 million into a run for president in 2020, an adviser said Thursday.
一位顾问周四说,前(纽约)市长迈克尔·布隆伯格愿意投入1亿多美元在2020年竞选总统。
“Mike spent over $100 [million] last November to defeat Republicans in the midterms and if he runs for POTUS he will certainly spend what’s necessary to win,” Howard Wolfson, Bloomberg’s senior adviser, told The Post — adding that it’s “very safe” to assume he’d top that dollar figure on a bid for the White House.
布隆伯格的高级顾问霍华德·沃尔夫森告诉《华盛顿邮报》:“迈克去年11月花了1亿多美元在中期选举中击败共和党人,如果他竞选美国总统,他肯定会花必要的钱去赢得选举。”他补充说,布隆伯格竞选总统时的花费“很可能”会超过那个数字。
Bloomberg will make up his mind about whether he will run by the beginning of next year, Woflson said.
沃夫森表示,布隆伯格将在明年年初决定是否参选。
If he throws his hat in the ring, the billionaire businessman — who is worth an estimated $40 billion — won’t be taking any political action committee cash, he said.
他说,如果布隆伯格参加竞选,这位身家约400亿美元的亿万富商将不会接受来自政治行动委员会的任何资金。
“Never took a dime of PAC money before. I don’t expect that to change,” said Wolfson, who worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential bid.
沃尔夫森曾参与希拉里·克林顿2008年的总统竞选,他说:“布隆伯格以前从来没有拿过政治行动委员会(PAC)一分钱。我认为这种情况不会改变。”
Bloomberg also spent around $100 million on his campaign to win a third term as mayor of the Big Apple.
布隆伯格还花了大约1亿美元第三次成功竞选纽约市长。
The 76-year-old had contemplated — but ultimately decided against — running in the 2016 presidential election, and suggested to friends at the time that he would be willing to blow at least $1 billion on a campaign, according to a New York Times report.
据《纽约时报》报道,这位76岁的老人曾考虑过参加2016年的总统大选,但最终决定不参加,他当时还向朋友表示,他愿意在一场竞选中投入至少10亿美元。
President Trump spent $66 million of his own money in that race, and his campaign ultimately raised a total of $333 million, with another $75 million coming from outside groups.
特朗普总统在那场竞选中自己花了6600万美元,他在竞选活动中最终筹集了3.33亿美元,另外7500万美元来自外部团体。
Trump has already raised more than $100 million for 2020 between his own campaign and GOP fundraising operations, according to CNBC.
据美国全国广播公司财经频道(CNBC)报道,特朗普已经在自己的竞选活动和共和党筹款活动中为2020年大选筹集了1亿多美元。
