Billionaire Mike Bloomberg (D-NY) is the only other presidential candidate known to be placing a Super Bowl ad, announcing the purchase of the ad time on Tuesday.

The big purchase will add on to an already shocking $147 million that Bloomberg has spent on TV ads since jumping into the race, a feat that has taken him from zero to 6% in the polls.

The ad’s timing is critical for Bloomberg as the late-comer tries to lap his fellow Democrats before primary voting begins. The Super Bowl will be played the day before the Iowa Caucuses, possibly giving him the final boost of momentum needed to land in the top tier.

As Democrats drop out one after another in the brutal primary battle, Bloomberg will become more and more of a player as he is not restricted by fundraising. This is also a good selling point for the New Yorker who can make the case that “only I can go toe to toe with Trump”.
