O'Malley weighing 2016 White House bid [View all]
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) said he’s considering a run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 — and will spend the latter half of this year focusing on whether a White House bid is feasible.
O’Malley, a former Baltimore mayor who has been the subject of presidential speculation for years, said he’s “occasionally mentioned” alongside Hillary Clinton and Vice President Biden as a potential 2016 contender because of his legislative achievements.
“By the second half of this year, I need to be spending a lot more energy and time giving serious consideration and preparation to what if anything I might have to offer should I decide to run for president in 2016,” O’Malley, 50, told the Baltimore Sun’s editorial board on Wednesday.
