On ‘Face the Nation,’ O’Malley Sidesteps A Question About Facing Hillary Clinton in 2016

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) sidestepped a question on national television Sunday about whether he will pursue the Democratic nomination for president in 2016 if Hillary Rodham Clinton gets in the race.

Appearing on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” O’Malley told host Bob Schieffer that he is “looking at” a White House bid but would not engage on the question about Clinton.

“I think the most important question for any of us who feel that we have something to offer for our country’s future is to offer those ideas and to put those ideas out there and most importantly to ask the right questions, questions like, ‘What will it take to make sure that our middle class is growing again so we can grow our economy?’ ” O’Malley said. “And that’s what I’m going to be doing. And what the other candidates may or may not do is their choice.”
