Franken tells TV network: 'I'm ready for Hillary' to be president

ABBY SIMONS and PAUL WALSH - December 16, 2014

U.S. Sen. Al Franken said he will back former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in her likely presidential run, and will not consider any other candidate.

“I think Hillary would make a great president. I haven’t announced that I’m supporting her. Does this count?” Franken said during an interview on the MSNBC cable network with Ari Melber that aired Tuesday afternoon. He added that he feels no need to scope out other presidential contenders.

“I’m ready for Hillary,” Franken said. “I think we’ve not had someone this experienced, and this tough. She’s very, very impressive.” Asked whether his stance was a formal endorsement, Franken said, “If this is what you call an endorsement, I guess yes. So yes.”

Franken added that he’s also been asked about U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., as a presidential candidate in 2016.

“She is great,” he said, “but she’s not running.”

Sorry about that.
