Three Democrats Who Could Challenge Hillary Clinton in 2016
Sep 13, 2014 8:27am
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is heading back to Iowa for the first time since 2008 this weekend to speak at the 37th Harkin Steak Fry. And since she says shell probably decide on a 2016 run after the first of the year, ABC News took a closer look at three other Democrats who could challenge her for the nomination if she decides to run for the White House for the second time.
1.Sen. Elizabeth Warren
The Massachusetts senator speaking to ABC News David Muir earlier this year saidshe is not running for president, but could she change her mind? Its happened with other candidates before, including then-Sen. Barack Obama before the 2008 election. Warren,who recently released a book, is a favorite among more progressive Democrats. But an ABC News/Washington Post poll in June showed that among registered voters, 69 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents favor Clinton for the partys nomination over seven other hypothetical contenders. Warren received only 7 percent.

2. Vice President Joe Biden
As the current vice president, Biden could not be any closer to the Oval Office than he is in his current position. The former Delaware senator, now in his 70s, has not ruled out another run for the White House.
Hes already run twice for the highest elected office in the land. In fact, just days after his potential 2016 rival Clinton visits Iowa, the vice president will be making his own stop in the Hawkeye State, the Des Moines Register reported. The same poll in June that showed a majority of registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents favor Clinton by a large margin showed Joe Biden garnering 12 percent support.
