Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg is committing at least 100 million US dollars (£77.2 million) to help Joe Biden’s presidential campaign in the crucial battleground state of Florida.

Mr Bloomberg’s late stage infusion of cash reflects Democrats’ concerns about the tight race in a state that is a priority for President Donald Trump.
