Former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton is already running for president in the next presidential election in 2016, her biographer has revealed.
“I will say this: she’s already running,” Jonathan Allen told The Huffington Post on Monday.
Allen is a White House reporter for Bloomberg and the co-author of “HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton.”
He discussed plans for the sequel to “HRC.” The next book will focus on 2016, according to the reporter.
“We’re really just in the beginning stages right now,” Allen said about the book.
Allen added that there are already super PACs backing Clinton and that she will tour the country for her new book, “Hard Choices.”
“She’s campaigning for president right now, she’s just not an official candidate,” Allen said.
A new poll conducted by Fox News showed last week Hillary Clinton’s approval ratings hitting their lowest point in six years.
According to the survey, 49 percent of Americans view Clinton favorably, while 45 percent see her unfavorably.
This is the first time the former secretary of state’s approval rating has dropped below 50 percent in a Fox survey since April 2008. The drop is surprising for many people as she is widely considered to be the Democratic favorite for the 2016 presidential election.
She has not officially announced her bid for the presidential post yet.
When asked about seeking the Democratic nomination for president, Clinton did not reject the idea last month.
“I am thinking about it,” she said. “I’m not going to make a decision for awhile, because I’m actually enjoying my life.”
