Former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick joins the Democratic race for president
WASHINGTON - Former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick on Thursday said he was seeking the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination despite an already crowded race in an effort to bring a divided country - and splintering political party - together.
In a campaign video announcing his bid, Patrick cited anxiety and anger among Americans who feel their government and the economy has let them down. He said he was determined “to build a better, more sustainable, more inclusive American dream for the next generation.”“This time is about the character of the country,” he said in the video. “This time is more than removing an unpopular and divisive leader, as important as that is, but about delivering instead for you.
The apparent ascendance of Warren in opinion polls also concerns 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. The new efforts by Patrick and Bloomberg reflect a popular desire for a centrist candidate who can beat Trump, said Joe Keefe, chief executive of Pax World Funds and a past chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, in an interview on Thursday.
