The former New York City mayor stopped by the Phoenix Mexican restaurant Rosita's Place, where he sat with diners.
"Arizona is a crucial battleground state, but I know you don't often see presidential candidates around here," Bloomberg said. "The fact is: President Trump is about the only one spending money here and in swing states around the country – and that's a big problem for our party."
