Billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Democratic presidential campaign is finally moving into New Hampshire, and, no, they didn't miss the memo on Tuesday's primary.

In fact, the Bloomberg team is launching operations in the Granite State precisely because the votes have been completed. Their eyes are instead on President Trump and the general election. That might seem premature since Bloomberg isn't even competing in early states, so there's not a clear picture of where he'll fall once he's actually contesting against his fellow candidates, but his campaign pointed out that New Hampshire was a close call in 2016 and it doesn't hurt to get an early start.
