In America, we have been losing sight of some basic truths, namely: that we have a stake in each other’s dreams and struggles, as well as our own; and that we each owe a responsibility to leave things better for those who come behind us.
That’s why I started @TogetherFundPAC.
With @TogetherFundPAC, @DevalPatrick is continuing the work he’s been doing throughout his life to bring people together to build a stronger, more equitable America for everyone, everywhere. Our party and country will be better because of it.
America needs a unifying and experienced leader, who can and wants to make life better for everyone everywhere.
@JoeBiden is that leader.
I know that from experience, more than can fit in a tweet:

I am proud of @DevalPatrick for having the courage to step into the ring against the odds. In doing so he demonstrated a deep love for this country and it’s ideals as well as ambition to make sure the opportunity to achieve the American Dream is available for all that strive. 🇺🇸
I’ve always believed Gov @DevalPatrick is the leader our country needs - I still do. The campaign may be over, but the work continues. We bear our generational responsibility to not only defeat Donald Trump, but to fight injustice at every level. We build as we climb.#EverForward
The best speech I've ever heard happened last night in Manchester, NH. A perfect articulation of our political moment & why we always need to keep fighting.
It was the single greatest honor of my life to work for @DevalPatrick — a good, kind, humble, brilliant man — and my hero.
“The vote in New Hampshire last night was not enough 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.
I am NOT suspending my commitment to help.”-@DevalPatrick
Neither am I. Thank you Governor.
We are fortunate to have a leader like @DevalPatrick. We must stay engaged and we must continue to "reject false choices." I know I will. Thank you @DevalPatrick for your fearlessness and for your endless inspiration. I'm proud to have been part of your campaign.
It has been a pleasure to work for @DevalPatrick. His decision to withdraw is a loss not just for the Democratic Party, but our democracy. He brought a wealth of life + legislative experience to this race. We need more than great slogans. We need real leadership. #TeamDeval
Our campaign ended this week, but his example of unselfishness, superlative ethics & unyielding optimism goes on. I will be a better lawyer, father, brother, friend and husband because of his example. @DevalPatrick , undefeated still, is perhaps the finest man I know.
.@DevalPatrick understands that the way to beat Donald Trump and move our country forward is to bring people in, not push people away. I admire Governor Patrick and look forward to working with him to do just that.
You have always been my brother @DevalPatrick, and your willingness to sacrifice in this campaign has yet again demonstrated to this nation your character and leadership. Though out of the race, I know you’ll remain in the fight.
Thanks to my friend & incredible leader @DevalPatrick for the work you've done as a civil rights lawyer, governor & candidate for President. I’ll miss seeing you & your positive presence at all these events but I know that for you there are more good things to come.
Gov. @DevalPatrick is a great public servant who got into this race for the same reasons that I did — to unite the country and defeat Donald Trump.
I know he will continue that fight.
