Washington (CNN)Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley took a
major shot at Hillary Clinton on Sunday, saying the country
needs a "new perspective" and "new leadership" in the 2016
election.
"Let's be honest here," O'Malley said. "The presidency of the
United States is not some crown to be passed between two
families."
READ: Can this Democrat really beat Hillary Clinton?
The Democrat's comments, in an appearance on ABC's "This Week,"
are another signal that he's likely to challenge Clinton in the
2016 Democratic presidential primary.
He's focusing in recent weeks on issues like income inequality
and wage stagnation -- which liberal darling Massachusetts Sen.
Elizabeth Warren has made her signature, but that haven't found
a champion in the presidential race.
O'Malley said he won't decide until this spring whether he'll
seek the Democratic nomination. But his shots at Clinton have
been the most direct of any of the party's likely challengers --
with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders seeking to avoid the topic of
Clinton at all costs.
Recalling the 2008 primary, when then-upstart Sen. Barack Obama
challenged an inevitable-looking Clinton and won, O'Malley
hinted he thinks Clinton could be defeated.
"History is full of times when the inevitable frontrunner is
inevitable right up until he or she is no longer inevitable,"
O'Malley said.
