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.
