Former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley launched his presidential candidacy Saturday by stressing income inequality and other economic issues ahead of an uphill battle against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
"The American Dream seems for so many of us to be hanging by a thread," O'Malley said in his official announcement, pledging to close "a growing gap of injustice in our country" if he becomes president.
The former Baltimore mayor, surrounded by campaign signs calling for "new leadership," also took a swipe at Clinton -- and at Republican Jeb Bush, a likely GOP candidate also looking to follow a family member into the White House.
Hopefully he serves Pina Coladas at his rallies.
