Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick is calling close allies and informing them he is not running for president in 2020, sources close to the governor tell POLITICO.
Patrick informed staff and advisers of his decision Tuesday, the sources say, with an announcement to come as soon as this week.
A close ally of former President Barack Obama, the Democrat rejoined the private sector at Bain Capital after serving two terms as Massachusetts' governor. But he ramped up his political activity this fall in advance of a possible presidential bid, traveling to a handful of races across the country.

I’d also like to announce that I will not be a contender for the Dummyrat nominee in 2020
Too bad. It would have been a literal case of the blind leading the blind
thank GAWD we don’t have to listen to or look at +that+ little weasel...
Or maybe Romney’s old firm just made him an offer he couldn’t refuse . . . < / sarcasm >
“...the Democrat rejoined the private sector at Bain Capital after serving two terms as Massachusetts’ governor.”
I don’t thiMk that they will be unlucky monetarily. They will reap millions in campaign donations and live happily ever after. At least as happily as a progg can be . Which ain’t too happy.
He put the city on lock-down, then was going to helicopter off to his Summer house in Western MA, until he got a call from his Chicago pal, BHO, who somehow managed to convince him of the visual blow-back he was inviting.
He's also a friend to rapists of elderly women, not to mention wife-beaters. The beaten includes his own sister, btw, and he let his convicted sex offender (ex-?) BIL stay with him without mentioning it to the state's sex-offender registry...
RATs bowing out of a race 2 years ahead of the election must be consumed with an ocean’s worth of salt to be even contemplated.
Trump defeats another 2020 candidate!
Chicken!
I’m sorry but you all are missing it. The democrat party primary process is a show. The party probably called and said he wasn’t a finalist for the job. They are trying to select between Betomania, Hillary and Kamala. Once it is selected, the fix is in.
The LAST thing that they want or will permit is a real primary. Are younreadimg this Bernie?
2 down. 74 to go.
I think you are correct. They are figuring out who is “inevitable” and telling all the wannabes to step back because they are not the chosen one.
What ever made him think he had a chance at the presidency? Oh, the same thing that made opray winfrey, moochele, jessee jackson, al sharpton, barry obama,...
Should I issue a press release announcing that I have decided not to run for President in 2020?
I had every bit as much chance of getting elected President as Deval Patrick or Michael Avenatti (aka Creepy Porn Guy) did.
Biden was told explicitly to sit out in 2016. I guess the phone calls are going out to clear the decks. This is Terry McCauliffe’s turn because the Clinton’s and Obama’s need their pie slice of future $$$$.
Romney should run as a Democrat he might win because people get confused easily.
You are so correct.
The rat’s golden dream.
Say you are running for an office and collect the campaign donations to enhance your life style.
