Deval Patrick Suspends White House Bid

Former Mass. Governor Deval Patrick is out of the 2020 race for the White House.

In a statement provided to CNN, Patrick said, "I believed and still believe we had a strong case to make for being able to deliver better outcomes. But the vote in New Hampshire last night was not enough for us to create the practical wind at the campaign's back to go on to the next round of voting. So I have decided to suspend the campaign, effective immediately."
