Deval Patrick Mulls Late Entry In Democratic Race

Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has told Democratic officials that he is considering making a last-minute entry into the 2020 presidential race, the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Patrick told party leaders he doesn’t think that any of the candidates running have established political momentum and that he thinks there is an opening for somebody who can unite both liberals and moderate Democrats.”

“At the same time, Massachusetts Democrats close to Mr. Patrick have started to reach out to prominent party leaders in early nominating states to alert them that he may run.”
