US President Barack Obama said that Hillary Clinton would make an
“excellent president,” making the comment just a day before Clinton is expected
to announce her candidacy.
“[Hillary Clinton] was a formidable candidate in 2008,
she was a great supporter of mine in the general election, she was an
outstanding secretary of state, she is my friend,” Obama said at a press conference.“I think she would be an
excellent president.”
Clinton is expected to announce her presidential bid via social
media Sunday, according to reports. In doing so, Clinton, widely seen as the
frontrunner for the Democrats’ nomination, will become the party’s first
candidate to declare their bid for the White House in 2016.
Meanwhile, scandals of the past will also likely surround
Clinton’s possible campaign, including the use of her private email account and
server as Secretary of State, security decisions prior to the Benghazi attacks,
the leak of secret cables, questions over the Clinton Foundation’s donors and
others.
So far, two Republican candidates have officially entered the 2016
presidential race — Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Senator Rand Paul
(R-Kentucky).
