Mike Bloomberg 2020
"Problem Solver" +
:60 TV ad from Nov. 25, 2019 run in 32 states from Nov. 25-Dec. 3.
[Music] Male Announcer: He
could have just been the middle class who made good. Mike
Bloomberg became the guy who did good.
After building a business that created thousands of jobs,
he took charge of a city still grieving from 9-11. A three-term
mayor who helped bring it back from the ashes, bringing jobs and
thousands of affordable housing units with it.
After witnessing the terrible toll of gun violence, he
helped create a movement to protect families across America, and stood
up to the coal lobby and this administration to protect this planet
from climate change.
And now he's taking on him. [Music stops]
[Music
starts] To rebuild a country
and restore faith in the dream that defines us.
Where the wealthy will pay more in taxes
and the middle class get their fair share. Everyone without
health insurance can get it, and everyone who likes theirs keep
it. Where jobs won't just help you get by, but get ahead.
And on all those things, Mike Bloomberg intends to make good.
Job Creator. Leader. Problem
Solver. Mike Bloomberg for President.
Bloomberg
(voiceover): I'm Mike Bloomberg and I approve this message.
Notes: This
was reported to be "the largest one-week television buy in political
history," about $35 million to run TV ads in 32 states from Nov.
25-Dec. 3.
The ad contains
much material from Bloomberg's announcement
video, but also has significant differences.
One interesting segment
is the line "And now he's taking on him." Trump is not mentioned
by name, but a color image of him is shown that then goes to black and
white as the music stops briefly.
