Deval Patrick insisted he has a real shot at the Democratic nomination despite his last-minute entry into a packed field earlier this month
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Deval Patrick insisted Monday he has a real shot at the Democratic nomination despite his last-minute entry into a packed field earlier this month.
Patrick delivered a message of unity during his remarks to a crowd of about 200 people. He laid out a vision for how "woke" Democrats and activists can work together with people who "are still waking" to defeat President Donald Trump. Many in the audience were members of the Massachusetts political class, including former Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Tim Murray, who served with Patrick. Patrick was elected governor of Massachusetts in 2006, and served two terms. When he left office in 2015, Patrick began working in the private sector at the private equity firm Bain Capital.
Several prominent local Republicans were in the room, including Tom Rath, a longtime Republican strategist. He said he probably wouldn't vote for Patrick in the general election but would consider it if he's the nominee.
