Bloomberg's promises

As we all recall, Bloomberg promised an all out media campaign to destroy Trump regardless of which democrat won the nomination. I know Trump is self-destructing , but has anyone heard where Bloomberg’s promise stands ?

during their camapigns. I assume he will be writing more checks as we get closer to the election. Right now he is helping financially with the virus.

"Mike Bloomberg is again deploying his massive personal fortune – this time to combat the coronavirus."

"Bloomberg plans to spend $10.5 million to build a contact tracing program, which would help local officials follow the spread of the virus in an effort to contain it. The work will center on New York City, but also go into neighboring jurisdictions."

"Beyond the New York contact tracing work, Bloomberg’s philanthropic operation announced a $40 million pledge to support efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 in low- and middle-income nations."
