WASHINGTON - Former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick on Thursday said he was seeking the Democratic party’s 2020 presidential nomination despite an already crowded field in an effort to bring a divided country - and splintering political party - together.
In a campaign video, Patrick cited anxiety and anger among Americans who feel their government and the economy has let them down, and said he was determined “to build a better, more sustainable, more inclusive American dream for the next generation.” The late entries months before the first primary contests highlight the volatility of the race and Democrats’ worries that the Biden’s candidacy may be weakening.The apparent ascendance of Warren in opinion polls also worries some Democrats who fear the liberal firebrand pushing Medicare-for-all healthcare may not attract enough moderates and Republicans who dislike Trump to deny the president a second four-year term.
Still, he faces a steep uphill climb. So far, all but the top five candidates have failed to garner more than a few percentage points of support in state and national polls.
congratulations dt
'two liberals'..... just say socialists. You're not fooling anyone.
c'mon
Also Ran.
'I am Spartacus' syndrome
It's about time we got a mezzo-soprano.
That voice! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
nice lipstick Deval!
Please kindly go away Gov. DevalPatrick.
dafuq ? At this stage in the game ? He must think the sun shines out of his arse...
Who?
He doesn’t have a winning voice...
What are his solutions to our race divide, class divide & other divides? How stop nightly killings in Chicago where native son Obama failed ? How lift his own kind from poverty? Migrant policy? How going to reduce our foreign enemies & achieve peace? By dining with British Queen?
In 2014 Deval Patrick fired leaders of his state's Sex Offender Registry for trying to force his brother in law to register due to being convicted of rape in California in 1993. In 2019, that same rapist was sentenced to 6 years for another rape. 1/
Booooooooooooooo
5$ says it will be less than a week before he co-ops the Hope and Change line from his buddy
Any addition to the already crowded democratic candidate pool will only weaken their chance in 2020.
Hahah, like this guy is going to win. Trump wins this election, it's so obvious.
Better he seek the zoo 🐒🐒🍌🍌
Will never vote for him
No
DevalPatrick will not break above 1% in polls and out of race b/f Super Tuesday in March ... taking bets.
Seems like a nice guy. But he has a HUGE mountain to climb - no one knows who he is, and being a friend with Barack Obama is not the boost it used to be now that the Democrats have turned to full-on socialism as a party platform.
But why?
Hillary is also planning to jump in...
And for just 50¢ a day, you too can be a democratic Presidential elect. Not sure about running? Don't worry. CNNPolitics polls already show you winning 😉👍
Trump2020
The democrat party is in shambles because of a three year obsession with removing Trump from office. There is no one in the party left untainted and a vacuum exists for leadership.
A drop in the sea.
Adding 1 does not swell
