Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill Endorses Hillary Clinton For 2016

It’s never too early, apparently.

Saying that “it’s important we start early,” Sen. Claire McCaskill on Tuesday endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in one of the first major moves of the 2016 cycle.

“Now, as I look at 2016 and think about who is best to lead this country forward, I’m proud to announce that I am Ready for Hillary,” read a statement from the Missouri Democrat, which was posted at ReadyforHillary.com.

McCaskill backed President Barack Obama over Clinton in the 2008 cycle, something she acknowledged in the statement.
