Campaign manager Abe Rakov did not confirm his withdrawal but
said Patrick "is evaluating and will make a decision about the
future of the campaign tomorrow."
Patrick, 63, an African American and close ally of former
President Barack Obama, jumped into the race in November but
failed to gain traction with voters.
