Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is the second billionaire to file for president for 2020, which prompted annoyance and ridicule from progressives online.
Bloomberg will be seen as a moderate candidate compared to progressives like Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
It's too late for Bloomberg to launch an effort in Iowa and New Hampshire, and it's unclear if Bloomberg will mount any kind of field campaign or simply blow his billions on television ads.
Either way, it prompted Democrats online to strike out with eye-rolling and annoyance.
