Former US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has reportedly said that she will begin to 'seriously think' about running for the presidential bid next year.

Clinton said that she wants to think about it because it is something on a lot of people's mind and she wants to think about it more broadly.

According to Politico, Clinton gave the statement at a lunch with business and political leaders.

Clinton's supporter and former state Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs, who attended the luncheon said that her message was clear that she is roughly a year out from a decision.

Jacobs said that what Clinton emphasized was that how someone or anyone who's elected would govern in the future and the discussion of 'who is going to be next' is damaging to the country.

She said that people have been elected to do a job and so they must govern now.

Jacobs added that there is a year more to go for the 2016 elections and that's the time Clinton is going to begin about the presidential bid.
