Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) told a group of reporters early this month he’s laying “the framework” for a presidential run in 2016. …

Last month, O’Malley sat down for a meal with supporters at the governor’s mansion to tell them he’s in for 2016. One supporter in attendance said the governor “made it clear” he’s moving toward a bid.

“He’s made it clear to me he’s running. We did not discuss what he would do if Hillary Clinton runs,” the source said. …

But there’s just one catch: “I’m happy to support him right now,” the source told The Hill, “but I won’t be able to raise money for him if Hillary runs because I’ll want to raise for her.”
