Washington (CNN) Michael Bloomberg's presidential campaign now employs more than 800 people, according to multiple aides, giving the former New York mayor a nationwide effort that surpasses any other candidate in the Democratic primary. Bloomberg's campaign now includes 500 staffers in more than 30 states and 300 staffers in his New York City headquarters, an aide said. Bloomberg has staff in every Super Tuesday state, where the candidate is focusing his campaign. "In six short weeks, Mike's campaign now has 500 staff on the ground in every Super Tuesday and even some territories, like the Virgin Islands," said Dan Kanninen, Bloomberg's states director. "Our campaign is building the most robust national organization and infrastructure to beat Donald Trump, where we will compete everywhere and take our case directly to voters across the country with person-to-person conversations."
