Billionaire Mike Bloomberg’s presidential campaign purchased PrimeTime ad space Sunday night – reportedly worth at least $ 1 million. The former New York City mayor addressed the nation, somewhat, about the threat of coronavirus.

The ad space could have cost the Bloomberg campaign anywhere from $ 1.25 to 3 million, the New York Times reported Saturday.

In a three-minute ad, Bloomberg stands in a room that looks remarkably similar to the White House’s Oval Office. He wears a pin in the shape of an American flag while he addresses the American public about the coronavirus.

‘the coronavirus is spreading, and the economy is taking a hit,’ Bloomberg says.’it’s the job of the president to reassure the public that he or she is taking all of the necessary steps to protect the health and well-being of every citizen’.
