California Gov. Jerry Brown increased excitement around the 2016 Presidential elections by hinting at a potential presidental run on Wednesday night.
"I'll jump in at the appropriate time," Browan said, hinting that he might, after all, seek the Democratic Party's nomination for president in 2016, according to Before It's News.
Speaking to CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Brown, who has run for president thrice before called frontrunner Hillary Clinton "formidable."
"I will say, though, about the Clintons, with some experience, they are very formidable. I would not underestimate Hillary Clinton," said Brown, who ran against Bill Clinton in 1992, according to The Weekly Standard.
When Blitzer pressed him for an answer, asking "What are you waiting for?" Brown stated the importance of a well-timed entrance.
"I'm not as hasty as I was as a younger candidate or a younger elected official. I'm enjoying the luxury of being on the sidelines, watching these shows tonight, watching the parade, and where I can be helpful, I'll jump in at the appropriate time," reports Breitbart News.
However, Brown never outright said that he would join the race, nor did he confirm knowledge of any other new candidates.
"I would say, though, it is early. You could have a lot of big surprises, a lot of action between now and the first Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary. A lot's going to happen in the Republican primary, and I think some things could happen on the Democratic side as well," said Brown while declining to comment on Biden's candidacy, reports The Weekly Standard.
Brown has the credentials to enter the race, as he is a fourth-term governor, and is also conversant with party sentiments on climate change and immigration, while having displayed pragmatism on spending, fracking and foreign policy, attributes which make him a favorite with many democrats.
