WASHINGTON (AP) - Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb has formed an exploratory committee to consider a Democratic presidential campaign in 2016.
It's the first official step in what could be a challenge to Hillary Rodham Clinton if she seeks the White House again.
Webb announced a website for his exploratory committee in a message posted from his Twitter account late Wednesday. He says many Americans believe the U.S. is 'at a serious crossroads' and the solutions 'are not simply political, but those of leadership.'
The former Virginia senator has hinted at a possible presidential campaign for months. The Vietnam War veteran served as Navy secretary under President Ronald Reagan. He defeated Republican Sen. George Allen in 2006 and served one term in the U.S. Senate.
