SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Bernie Sanders’ campaign had built up what it described as the largest California operation of any Democratic presidential candidate - until billionaire Mike Bloomberg made a late entry into the race in November with seemingly bottomless resources.
The contrast highlights both risks and opportunities of his unorthodox strategy: Bloomberg is skipping Iowa and three other states that vote in February and traditionally help anoint front-runners, instead employing his massive fortune to overwhelm opponents in much larger, delegate-rich states that will start voting from March.
In a single day, Super Tuesday puts up for grabs nearly a third of the 3,979 state delegates that will help select a Democratic nominee. By contrast, the four early states – Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina – award less than 4% of the delegates combined.
On the other hand, a Sanders surge could open a door for Bloomberg, given uncertainty among moderate voters about the self-described Democratic socialist’s ability to beat Republican President Donald Trump in November.
