Hillary Clinton will “probably” decide after Jan. 1, 2015, whether she will run for president in 2016, she said Friday.

“I am going to be making a decision around probably after the first of the year,” Clinton told the crowd in Mexico City, where she was speaking at a event for a organization founded by billionaire Carlos Slim, according to the Associated Press.

Clinton had previously said in June that it was “probably likely” she wouldn’t make an announcement until 2015 and that she would start seriously weighing the possibility after the November midterm elections.

As MSNBC’s Alex Seitz-Wald noted, Clinton announced her 2008 campaign on Jan. 20, 2007.

  3. Wait until June of 2016. Make 'em sweat a little.

  4. In many respects, the 2016 Presidential election is all about the Supreme Court and the appointments that the new President will make. It is imperative that another Democratic President be elected because the impact of an even stronger activist, conservative Supreme Court upon this country will be felt for decades.

  5. It’s the only reason I’ll vote for Hillary.
