Buffett: Hillary ‘is going to win’

Famously prescient investor Warren Buffett said that he believes former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will run for president — and that she “is going to win” — at a conference held by Fortune magazine on Tuesday.

Buffett has been a high-profile supporter of President Barack Obama, giving the president a powerful ally in the debate over rising income inequality. Obama’s plan to raise taxes for the rich even carried Buffett’s name.

Clinton is considered a likely candidate in the 2016 race for the White House but has repeatedly said she has yet to make up her mind about whether she will run.
