Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick is officially ending his short-lived 2020 campaign for president.

Patrick, who came in ninth place in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary with about 0.4 percent of the vote, announced Wednesday he's dropping out of the race, citing the fact that "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."
