Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg, the billionaire entrepreneur and former Democratic presidential candidate, has given nearly $20 million to help President Biden's reelection effort, according to people familiar with the donations. The transfer of funds includes a $19 million check to FF PAC, a independent pro-Biden group also known as Future Forward, and a max-out donation of $929,600 to the Biden Victory Fund, an amalgamation of Biden campaign and Democratic Party committees. Bloomberg endorsed Biden's reelection Thursday in a statement to The Washington Post, in response to a request for comment on the donations. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/20/mike-bloomberg-biden-20-million-donation-trump/
