2016 Presidential Election | featured news

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.

It's never too early to bet in the United Kingdom, not even on the United States presidential election -- of 2016. The good folks at the Ladbrokes betting service are listing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton as the favorite in the next presidential election; her odds of winning the presidency in four years: 6-1.

Addressing for the first time speculation in political circles that he might be a candidate for president in 2016, the Democratic governor said the talk could be “totally distracting.”

Texas Gov. Rick Perry told a CBS TV station that he's giving "a good examination" to making another run for president in four years.

Vice President Joe Biden left open the possibility on Sunday that he might run for the White House in 2016. Biden told CNN that his focus is on helping President Barack Obama get re-elected in 2012 but when pressed on the possibility of his own future run, he replied, "I'm not closing anything."

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's successful push to legalize gay marriage in his state has made him a national hero to liberal voters and has sparked talk of a potential presidential bid for Cuomo in 2016....

Forget that Barack Obama-Hillary Rodham Clinton re-match -- or that Obama-Clinton ticket for 2012 -- or maybe even that Hillary-for-President revival in 2016. The secretary of State has again shot down rumors she might resign and challenge Obama in the 2012 Democratic primaries, or -- another rumor -- that she and Vice President Biden might switch jobs ahead of Obama's 2012 re-election bid; she also appeared to rule out another presidential on her own in 2016.
