On Wednesday, a day after the New Hampshire Democrat primary, which socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) won by over 25%, former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick announced he is dropping out of the race.
“No matter whether it is a candidate for president, or as a public citizen. I’m going to stay involved,” Patrick said. “No matter what decision we make tomorrow morning about the practical ability of this campaign to continue. I’m going to stay involved, and so must you.”
Patrick announced his candidacy very late and dropped out just over 80 days into his campaign. He garnered only 1,300 votes in New Hampshire. Patrick follows Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) and businessman Andrew Yang in suspending their campaigns.
