Episode notes
Bloomberg's Spite Store
- Bloomberg's $100 million donation to Biden's Florida campaign is driven by personal spite for Trump.
- It mirrors Larry David's 'spite store' from Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Florida's Importance, Campaign Finance Concerns
- Florida is crucial in elections due to its diverse demographics and large number of electoral votes.
- Billionaire donations and Super PACs create an uneven playing field, resembling a 'pay-to-play' system.
