On Feb. 9, Madison played host to a two-time Oscar winner.<\/p>\n
But actor Michael Douglas \u2014 star of Wall Street<\/em>, Basic Instinct<\/em> and more \u2014 wasn\u2019t filming a new role. (Though if you slapped a mustache on him, he\u2019d make a decent Paul Soglin<\/a>.) Instead, Douglas was here to open up a campaign office for Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg.<\/p>\n Douglas claims even his legendary actor father Kirk, who died days earlier, had endorsed the former New York City mayor from his deathbed<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI said, \u2018Dad, Mike\u2019s running. Mike is running and we\u2019ve both known Mike Bloomberg forever,\u2019\u201d the 75-year-old told the event crowd. \u201cI said Dad, \u2018I\u2019m all in.\u2019 He gave me the thumbs up.\u201d<\/p>\n It would make sense that Michael Douglas would vibe with Michael Bloomberg. They\u2019re both very wealthy, older white guys from elite social circles. But support for Bloomberg seems to be growing throughout the country as the 78-year-old multi-billionaire uses his vast personal wealth for TV ad buys<\/a>, meme campaigns<\/a> and staff hiring frenzies<\/a>.<\/p>\n A bunch of the biggest meme accounts on Instagram just shared posts that claim to be sponsored by @MikeBloomberg<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/pckRX7LWbx<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jesselyn Cook (@JessReports) February 13, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
