U.S. Senator Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican who may run for president in 2016, said Hillary Clinton’s potential Democratic campaign for the White House won’t intimidate others from seeking the office.

“The Democratic Party is more populist and more liberal than it was when she ran last time, and yet she’s more mainstream,” Portman said today at a Bloomberg Government breakfast in Washington. “It is no longer the party of Bill Clinton.”
