Bloomberg Gives $1.5 Million to Pro-Cuomo Super PAC [View all]

Michael R. Bloomberg, New York City’s billionaire former mayor, put $1.5 million into a super PAC supporting Andrew M. Cuomo’s bid for mayor on Wednesday, and urged New Yorkers to vote for the former governor.

Filings show the money went to Fix the City, a group run by a longtime Cuomo ally that has been responsible for anti-Mamdani advertising and a get-out-the-vote operation during the campaign.

This is Mr. Bloomberg’s first foray into the mayor’s race since the Democratic primary, when he spent more than $8 million backing Mr. Cuomo’s failed bid to become the party’s nominee.

While threats from the city’s business elite to spend as much as $100 million in an effort to knock out Mr. Mamdani failed to materialize, super PAC spending against him has ticked up in the final days before Tuesday’s election.
