WASHINGTON - Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is doubling the already massive amount of money he will spend on advertising, an effort to lift his Democratic presidential bid and capitalize on the chaotic outcome of Monday’s Iowa caucuses. No one has made the sale or even come close to it,“ Bloomberg spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said Tuesday.

In addition to the new advertising spending, Bloomberg’s campaign announced it will also double its number of staff, taking the campaign’s headcount to 2,100. ___YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN...Catch up on the 2020 election campaign with AP experts on our weekly politics podcast, “Ground Game.”
