Former Rhode Island Secretary of State Matt Brown is withdrawing his bid for Rhode Island governor. The move came at a meeting of the Rhode Island Democratic Party State Committee on Sunday, which nominated incumbent governor Gina Raimondo for its endorsement. The announcement by Brown came at the end of a speech he gave in which he took some parting shots at Raimondo, criticizing her for, among other things, cutting Medicaid and ignoring advice to not launch UHIP, the much-maligned computerized benefit program.
