Pelosi: I'm Hoping For Hillary 2016

Buzzfeed reports that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has joined the growing list of prominent Democrats who have gone public with their hope for a Hillary 2016 presidential candidacy.

"I would love to see Secretary Clinton become the nominee for President in 2016," Pelosi said during an appearance in the 92nd Street Y in New York City Sunday night. "I do think the Secretary should entertain the thought of running in 2016," said the former Speaker of the House, who was formally neutral in 2008 but was widely viewed as tacitly supporting Senator Barack Obama, then Clinton's bitter rival. "Hasn't she been a magnificent Secretary of State?"

Pelosi made the comment in response to a question from political correspondent Jeff Greenfield as part of the 92nd Street Y's Campaign for the American Conversation series, as seen in a video provided exclusively to BuzzFeed. She was responding to a question about rumors that Clinton might "switch places" with Joe Biden in the 2012 election to accommodate an Obama-Clinton ticket. "I don't think that the [2012] ticket is going to change. I think the President and Vice President have worked very well together. Joe Biden is a great guy, he enjoys his own popularity," she responded.

Clinton will be 68 in 2016.
