The New York Mets mascot will join Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg’s supporters in Queens on Thursday as the former New York City mayor's campaign opens its second field office in the city.

The Bayside office will “be the heart of the campaign's Queens operation,” officials said.

In addition to “Mr. Met,” New York City Council Member Paul Vallone (D), New York State Assembly member Clyde Vanel (D) and former Queens Borough President Claire Shulman (D) will be at the opening.

The campaign office will be staffed by seven full-time workers as well as volunteers.

Bloomberg, who entered the race late, has surged in recent polls after spending hundreds of millions of dollars in his self-funded campaign on ad buys.

A RealClearPolitics average of polls shows Bloomberg at 10.6 percent support nationally, placing him in fourth place in the 2020 Democratic primary race behind former Vice President Joe Biden Joe BidenThe Memo: Warning signs flash for Trump on debates Senate Republicans signal openness to working with Biden National postal mail handlers union endorses Biden MORE, Sen.

The billionaire candidate reportedly signaled to advisers Tuesday morning that he plans to double television spending in every market in which he’s already advertising.

Bloomberg decided to skip the first four nominating contests, including the chaotic Iowa caucuses that kicked off the voting season on Monday night, to focus his efforts instead on Super Tuesday and later-voting states.
