Former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley said Saturday he will seek the Democratic nomination for president in 2016, launching a long-shot challenge against front-runner Hillary Clinton.
“The presidency is not a crown to be passed back and forth by you between two royal families. It is a sacred trust to be earned from American people, and exercised on behalf of the people of these United States,” O'Malley said in a speech in Baltimore, where supporters waved campaign placards calling for “new leadership” and chanted his last name.
