The pair has advised each other on political decisions and traded endorsements throughout the years. As a matter of fact, the former governor of Massachusetts is the only politician on the board of the Obama Foundation.
Former president Barack Obama and some of his advisers have been pushing former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick to be the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party in 2020.
This bombshell was revealed by Politico on Tuesday, and the media outlet pointed out that Obama’s advisers who are pressuring Patrick to take this step are Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod. Apparently, Jarrett told that a Patrick presidential represents her biggest wish right now, since she believes he has the ability to touch the people’s hearts and minds.
Additionally, she explained that America is ready for that particular kind of politician. Jarrett also told Politico that Patrick is the kind of a natural to look at, since she considers he made a good job as a governor and he inspires many people. On the other hand, Axelrod told that the most appealing element about Patrick is to think what the country would go to be looking for after his hypothetical presidency.
During a interview with Politico, Patrick avoided the subject of his political future, which is quite normal for potential candidates so far ahead of the election.
Although Obama’s advisers could push forward for his candidacy, this situation could create an uncomfortable dilemma, given the fact that former Vice President Joe Biden appears to be quite interested in running in three years.
Biden, who has expressed deep regret over not running a year ago, remains quite popular among former Obama staffers. However, the big issue about the former Delaware senator is that he would be 77 years old on the Election Day 2020, which is definitely one barrier to entry.
Another problem with former Vice President is his lousy track record, considering that he ran twice previously and his performance was quite inefficient. Back in 1987, Biden withdrew after acknowledging he had incorporated some portions of speeches by a British politician in describing some details of his own life.
In what could have been one of the most disgraceful stupidities shown by a Democrat in public, the former Vice President of the United States literally said that “jobs” was a three-letter word.
Additionally, Biden finished fifth in Iowa and sixth in New Hampshire with less than 1 percent in 2008, despite a strenuous effort and good notices in Democratic debates. In addition to these, Biden has another major problem that not even the media support would solve it: his weak image as goof-ball “Uncle Joe.”
In fact, this representation actually shows the colossal efforts of the mainstream media to clean his gaffes and rare moments on camera, and turned it into a label that would at least divert attention from his flaws.
One of the most famous was during a 2009 interview on CBS’ “Early Show,” where Biden encouraged viewers to visit a government-run site that tracks stimulus spending. When asked for the site’s address Biden could not remember it. Right on camera, he said he was embarrassed and asked an aide standing out of view if he knew the site number.
Patrick already knows he would have a lot of chances to win the primaries considering that Obama´s establishment would support him.
In another CBS interview he said that Franklin D. Roosevelt was the president when the stock market crashed in 1929. Also, in what could have been one of the most disgraceful stupidities shown by a Democrat in public, the former Vice President of the United States literally said that “jobs” was a three-letter word. What made this mistake something colossal was that he committed it during the 2008 campaign, when he was trying to criticize McCain’s economic plan.
Despite these issues, Biden seems to have serious intentions for running for president in 2020. In fact, one senior Obama White House aide said that only Patrick and the former Vice President would do efficiently in a straw presidential taken among Obama´s advisers.
According to Politico, one former top Obama White House official explained that the center of gravity would really shift in Patrick’s direction on the Obama world if the former governor of Massachusetts eventually decides to run. Naturally, he already knows he would have a lot of chances to win the primaries considering that Obama´s establishment would support him.

Naturally, this can’t be considered a surprise not only because Patrick have some elements that Obama’s advisers really like, but also because both politicians have had a relationship for two decades.
The pair has advised each other on political decisions and traded endorsements throughout the years. As a matter of fact, the former governor of Massachusetts is the only politician on the board of the Obama Foundation.
During an interview with Politico, Patrick avoided the subject of his political future, which is quite normal for potential candidates so far ahead of the election. Patrick told the media outlet that it’s too soon to be making plans for 2020, and that he has “no plans to make plans.”
