Ruby Cramer reports Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) is planning a run for president.
“In the last year, the governor has stepped up efforts to put together what he has called a ‘framework’ for a national campaign: He’s traveling the country to stump for Democrats, he’s speaking at state party dinners, he’s raising money, and he’s working on developing new policies.”
“In recent months, those efforts have intensified. About a dozen friends, former aides, strategists, and a handful of donors and fundraisers ready to support O’Malley if he runs, say they see the governor moving forward with those plans without a shade of hesitation.”
