Former Vice President Joe Biden said he would welcome billionaire media mogul Michael Bloomberg to join the 2020 Democratic primary.

“With regard to Michael Bloomberg, I welcome him in the race. Michael’s a solid guy. And let’s see where this goes. I have no problem with him getting in the race,” Biden, 76, told reporters Friday after filing his official paperwork for the New Hampshire Primary, the first primary in the nation, which will be held Feb. 11, 2020.
