Bloomberg On Track To Have Spent Roughly $5 Million Per Delegate. Here’s How Much Biden Spent

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is on track to have spent nearly $5 million of his vast fortune on each delegate he won on Super Tuesday, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis.

Bloomberg is projected to collect 104 delegates from Super Tuesday victories, according to The New York Times, meaning he will have spent millions of dollars on each delegate after plowing more than $500 million into his ill-fated presidential campaign. He suspended his campaign Wednesday after a poor showing.

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign has operated on a shoestring budget by comparison, spending $16 million over the course of his campaign, CNN reported Tuesday. Biden is projected to win 670 delegates, The NYT projects, meaning he has spent $23,881 on each of his delegates thus far.

Bloomberg’s campaign dumped more than $234 million into TV, radio and digital ads in the Super Tuesday states. His campaign’s money pit caught President Donald Trump’s attention as well.

“The biggest loser tonight, by far, is Mini Mike Bloomberg. His ‘political’ consultants took him for a ride. $700 million washed down the drain, and he got nothing for it but the nickname Mini Mike, and the complete destruction of his reputation. Way to go Mike!” Trump said Tuesday on Twitter.
