Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumEd Rendell backs Hillary Clinton, not his friend Mike Bloomberg
By Jose Pagliery, CNN
Washington (CNN)Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said Hillary Clinton has his endorsement in the 2016 contest, even if his close friend Mike Bloomberg launches an independent bid.
Bloomberg is thinking about entering the 2016 presidential race, sources recently told CNN.
That has some asking if Rendell, a former Democratic National Committee chairman, would break away from his fellow party members and endorse his friend, the billionaire former mayor of New York.
In a recent New York Times piece, Rendell said he might pick Bloomberg over Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a self-described democratic socialist.
But Bloomberg over Hillary? No way.

Michael R. Bloomberg has instructed advisers to draw up plans for a potential independent campaign in this years presidential race. His advisers and associates said he was galled by Donald J. Trumps dominance of the Republican field, and troubled by Hillary Clintons stumbles and the rise of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont on the Democratic side.
