WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The announcement comes a day before Hillary Clinton is expected to announce the start of her presidential campaign.

"She [Hillary Clinton] was a formidable candidate in 2008, she was a great supporter of mine in the general election, she was an outstanding secretary of state, she is my friend," Obama said, adding that "I think she would be an excellent president."

A former US Secretary of State, US Senator and First Lady of the United States, Clinton, is due to announce her candidacy for US president Sunday via social media, according to media reports.

If speculations are confirmed, Clinton will be the first Democratic presidential candidate to announce for the 2016 presidential elections.

Democratic Party presidential primaries will take place in 50 states, the District of Columbia and US territories prior to the 2016 general election to decide on the party nominee for Presidency of the United States.
