Bloomberg is the only candidate to personally donate money to the DNC, according to Federal Election Commission records. He gave more than $300,000 of personal money to the DNC in one day last November and more than $800,000 to a DNC-adjacent fundraising PAC the same day. The only campaign that donated to the DNC was Friends of Andrew Yang, which gave $125,000 in 2019.

Presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg could appear onstage at the February 19 presidential debate thanks to a last-minute change in the rules from the Democratic National Committee.

Until recently, the billionaire former New York City Mayor was almost guaranteed to be barred from the next presidential primary debate. But the DNC announced Friday that it was dropping an eligibility condition: Candidates no longer need to meet a minimum number of donations, previously in the hundreds of thousands, to win a spot at the DNC-sponsored debate. The Bloomberg campaign is not soliciting donations, which would have made it almost impossible for him to qualify by those rules.

Recall, Hillary bailed them out.

why is it better to have lots of special interests pay money for someone rather than having them pay their own way (and not being held hostage by those special interests, who control their futures)

According to liberals, it's because rich people are bad.
