Deval Patrick officially announced a late-entry 2020 presidential campaign on Thursday, thrusting the former Massachusetts governor into an already crowded field of Democratic candidates.
Kamala Harris was never my first choice, but MY GOD was she a better choice than:
Michael Bennet
Joe Biden
Michael Bloomberg
Pete Buttigieg
John Delaney
Tulsi Gabbard
Deval Patrick
Tom Steyer
and
Marianne Williamson— Brianna Wu (@BriannaWu) December 3, 2019
Sen. Harris had already qualified for the upcoming Democratic debate on December 19.
Now that she has dropped out, the debate lineup is currently entirely white — as of today, Andrew Yang, Cory Booker, Julian Castro, Tulsi Gabbard, and Deval Patrick have not yet qualified.
