Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has repeatedly said she was not running for Obama’s third term, and has notably broken with the president on several major issues, including the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade deal she helped broker while serving in the Obama administration.
It’s a marked departure from the experience of Obama’s two predecessors.
The party’s early deadline was believed to be one of the factors that pushed Vice President Joe Biden toward a decision on whether to run for the White House.

“About a year and a half ago people were saying I was a lame duck”, he joked at a fundraiser in Chicago Tuesday. “We’ve been flapping our wings a lot”.

There are numerous women serving on the state and local levels and the majority of female office holders in the both houses of Congress and state legislatures are Democrats while Republicans hold the edge in statewide elected offices, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. Among all Democratic leaned voters, less than 1 in 4 are satisfied (23%) or enthusiastic (1%) about how the federal government is working.
