Patrick, a CBS News political commentator, expressed his own concerns about the primary field, saying last month on \"CBS This Morning\" that he thought former Vice President Joe Biden's \"support was soft.\"

\"I'm a fan of the vice president. I have known him a long time. I have always felt that his support was soft and it feels like his campaign is contracting rather than expanding,\" he said following the October debate.

He also added that he thought \"poll numbers\" don't \"mean much right now\" and suggested voters aren't keeping too close of an eye on the primary this early.

\"I'm not sure that the poll numbers mean much right now. I keep meeting people who say, 'you know it's too much right now, I'm not focused right now. I'll focus when there are fewer candidates' and I suspect that moment will come soon.\"

Patrick hails from the same state as 2020 Democratic front-runner Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has yet to weigh in on his renewed interest in running for president. But in an interview last week with Angela Rye, Warren named Patrick as a potential member of her cabinet.

\"If I could talk about people who aren't politicians, I talk about my former governor, Deval Patrick, who is a pretty terrific guy,\" she said.

Warren said on Wednesday she has not spoken to Patrick in the last couple of days about him eyeing a late run and dismissed the notion that his bid would complicate her own candidacy.

\"I'm not here to criticize other Democrats,\" she told reporters in New Hampshire after she filed for the primary ballot.
