Williams, speaking as the network aired portions of Bloomberg’s Florida rally, said it’s “fair to say he [Bloomberg] is not having the night he thought he paid for, not having the night he was hoping for.”

Most of the races across the country had yet to be called, and in some states in the West polls were still open during Williams’s broadcast. 

Tuesday marked Bloomberg’s ballot box debut in the Democratic nomination contest. The billionaire candidate outspent his rivals on ad buys in markets across the country in his bid for the nomination. 

Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, is self-funding his campaign.
