Billionaire businessman Mike Bloomberg has donated $10 million to the Democrats' House Majority PAC, bolstering the party's efforts to regain control of the chamber from Republicans.
Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg has made a significant contribution to Democratic election efforts in the 2024 cycle, donating $10 million to the House Majority PAC, a major funding group supporting Democrats in the House. This generous donation comes on the heels of Bloomberg's previous investments, totaling $30 million, in Democratic campaigns.
Bloomberg's renewed support for Democrats follows his failed presidential bid in 2020, where he spent a staggering $1 billion of his own money on his Democratic nomination bid. Notwithstanding his unsuccessful campaign, Bloomberg transferred roughly $18 million to the Democratic Party and separately announced the funding of a $100 million independent ad campaign to boost then-candidate Biden's White House bid.

House Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are expected to benefit from Bloomberg's latest donation. The House Majority PAC is primarily tasked with supporting Democratic candidates, both those defending their current seats and those challenging Republican incumbents.
Notably, while Bloomberg's donation is a substantial contribution, it pales in comparison to the massive $50 million donation from conservative billionaire Timothy Mellon to a leading super PAC supporting former President Trump's White House bid. Mellon's generous contribution highlights the significant financial backing Trump has received from wealthy donors.

Since Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris, donations to Democrats have surged. Enthusiasm for the election has also increased among Democrats, creating a more competitive race against Trump, who has enjoyed a lead in previous polls.
Bloomberg's donation underscores the importance of financial support in political campaigns, particularly in close races. His renewed commitment to Democratic efforts demonstrates his belief in the party's agenda and his willingness to invest in its success.
