Hillary Clinton, 2016 Presidential Election | featured news

Paging, Hillary Clinton. Emily’s List, the influential abortion-rights group that backs Democratic women, unveiled an initiative Thursday to help put a woman in the White House. The group announced a six-figure digital media campaign and new polling that shows a strong appetite for a female commander-in-chief as part of its “Madame President” campaign. Emily’s List plans to target voters in battleground states and stage events in the early voting states of Iowa, Nevada and New Hampshire.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has double-digit leads over either of Florida's favorite sons, former Gov. Jeb Bush or U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, in an early look at the 2016 presidential election, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s announcement has put her in line with other potential Democratic presidential candidates on a social issue that is rapidly gaining public approval.

Outgoing U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday cast doubt on speculation she might run for the White House in 2016.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said during an interview with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell that she hoped Hillary Clinton – who will retire soon from her job as secretary of state – would make another bid for the presidency in four years.

Let’s start by stating the obvious: Hillary Rodham Clinton would be a formidable presidential candidate in 2016. Mrs. Clinton’s credentials as secretary of state, as a United States senator and as a politically engaged first lady would be hard for any of her Democratic or Republican rivals to match. She would have little trouble raising funds or garnering support from the Democratic officials, and she might even come close to clearing the Democratic field of serious opposition.

Public impressions of Hillary Rodham Clinton are at an all-time high, with a large majority of Americans giving her positive reviews as secretary of state and most wanting her to be a presidential candidate in 2016, a Washington Post-ABC News poll shows.

Former President Bill Clinton said Sunday that he had “no earthly idea” whether his wife might decide to run for the presidency in 2016, but that he had never met a more qualified public servant and that she would have his full support no matter what she decides.

As Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo considers a 2016 presidential bid, the eyes of the Democratic Party are fixed on Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who could count on broad support if she ran.

The former president, now a key supporter who will place President Obama's name in nomination at the Democratic National Convention, could also help his own wife into the White House in 2016.
