Bloomberg Pumps Cash Into the Long-Term Legal Fight Against Trump - The New York Times

Key Points

Everytown for Gun Safety, backed by Michael Bloomberg, plans to spend $10 million to support Democratic attorneys general in key states.

Objectives

The funds aim to protect the rule of law and democracy, particularly against perceived threats from the Trump administration.

Target States

• Virginia (this fall)
• Arizona, Georgia, Minnesota, Nevada, Wisconsin (in 2026)

Bloomberg's Donation History

This move contrasts with Bloomberg's previous reluctance to donate to Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign before eventually donating $50 million late in the election cycle.

Strategic Focus

Everytown's focus is on supporting attorneys general, prioritizing defensive actions to safeguard the rule of law and democratic principles, rather than directly advancing gun control measures.
