彭博选举冲刺周再投近3600万美元助民主党：1600万进众议院超级政治行动委员会，上周已先投8000万
据 Politico《Playbook》10月30日报道，前纽约市市长迈克尔·彭博（Michael Bloomberg）在选举冲刺阶段再投入近3,600万美元，支持一批众议院、参议院与州长竞选；这笔投入叠加在他上周已宣布的8,000万美元之上。彭博是民主党最重要的超级捐款人之一，曾竞选纽约市市长与总统。
据报道，这笔新投入分为几部分：1,600万美元捐给与民主党众议院领袖层结盟的超级政治行动委员会「众议院多数党政治行动委员会」（House Majority PAC）；1,200万美元捐给彭博共同创办的控枪改革非营利组织「每个城镇支持枪支安全」（Everytown for Gun Safety），同样用于众议院选战。他还向几位州级候选人捐款：250万美元给佐治亚州州长候选人基莎·兰斯·巴顿斯（Keisha Lance Bottoms）、250万美元给得克萨斯州参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科（James Talarico）、200万美元给堪萨斯州参议院候选人亚当·汉密尔顿（Adam Hamilton）、75万美元给得克萨斯州州长候选人吉娜·伊诺霍萨（Gina Hinojosa）。
彭博高级顾问霍华德·沃尔夫森（Howard Wolfson）对《Playbook》表示，彭博的政治团队此举是看准双重机会：既在长期胶着的选区抹平共和党的资金优势，也把触角伸向民调接近、但外部资金尚未进入的席位。「当风在你背后时，你要往水里放更多的船，」沃尔夫森说，「而本周看来，风吹得更强了。」
据报道，「众议院多数党政治行动委员会」这笔资金投向10个选区，包括科罗拉多州第3与第5选区、佛罗里达州第7、9、13与27选区、内布拉斯加州第1选区、纽约州第21选区、华盛顿州第3选区与威斯康星州第3选区，主要用于选战最后阶段的电视与流媒体广告。Everytown 的资金则支持其锁定的8场选战，候选人多为曾任「妈妈要求行动」（Moms Demand Action）志愿者的人士，选区分布在亚利桑那州、佛罗里达州、艾奥瓦州、密歇根州与宾夕法尼亚州。
Bloomberg Pours Nearly $36 Million More Into Democratic Races in Final Election Week, After $80 Million Last Week
Michael Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor and presidential contender and one of Democrats' most important megadonors, plunged nearly $36 million more into a bevy of House, Senate and gubernatorial campaigns this week, POLITICO's Playbook reported on October 30. That is on top of the late-breaking $80 million he already announced last week.
The money breaks down into several buckets: Bloomberg gave $16 million to House Majority PAC, the Democratic leadership-aligned super PAC, and $12 million, also for House races, to Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun reform nonprofit Bloomberg co-founded. He also donated to a handful of prominent statewide candidates: $2.5 million to Keisha Lance Bottoms' Georgia gubernatorial campaign, $2.5 million to James Talarico's Texas Senate race, $2 million to Adam Hamilton's Kansas Senate campaign, and $750,000 to Gina Hinojosa's Texas gubernatorial bid.
The eleventh-hour spending came as Bloomberg's political team saw a two-pronged chance to make an impact: shoring up long-competitive races where they wanted to erase Republicans' financial advantage on TV, and expanding into reach seats where the polling is close but little outside money had come in. "When the wind is at your back, you want to put more boats in the water," Howard Wolfson, a senior adviser to Bloomberg, told Playbook. "And it seemed to us that the wind was even more strongly blowing this week."
The House Majority PAC money went toward investments in 10 districts: Colorado's 3rd and 5th Districts, Florida's 7th, 9th, 13th and 27th, Nebraska's 1st, New York's 21st, Washington's 3rd and Wisconsin's 3rd, mostly funding TV and streaming ads down the final stretch. The Everytown donations reinforce its eight target races supporting former Moms Demand Action volunteers in Arizona's 6th District, Florida's 22nd, Iowa's 1st, 2nd and 3rd, Michigan's 8th and 10th, and Pennsylvania's 8th, Playbook reported.
