Former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick joined the crowded 2020 Democratic presidential campaign Thursday amid growing concerns in the party that the existing field won’t produce a nominee strong enough to beat President Donald Trump.
Patrick, who resigned Wednesday as a managing director at Bain Capital LP, said in a video that he is running “to build a better, more sustainable, more inclusive American dream for the next generation.”
