 Fiorina, speaking on "Fox News Sunday," said she could not yet
announce the bid because she was working to establish her team and
put together what she described as "the right support" and financial
resources.
Fiorina is one of many potential Republican presidential candidates
including former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Governor Scott
Walker, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, former Arkansas Governor Mike
Huckabee and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
Earlier this month, Texas Senator Ted Cruz became the first major
figure from either political party to formally announce his 2016
presidential bid.
Rubio may announce his intentions to run in mid-April, a local
Florida newspaper reported this month.
Huckabee, speaking Sunday on the CBS program "Face the Nation," said
that he has not yet reached a decision.
"I've been saying it's going to be this spring; we're barely into
it," he said. "So give me a few more weeks. I'll make an
announcement relatively soon."
Among Democrats, Hillary Clinton is expected to be the front-runner
for the nomination, although she has yet to formally announce her
plans.
A potential challenger, former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley,
threw a few punches at Clinton on Sunday and talked of his
accomplishments. He said he hoped to reach a decision on a
presidential bid in the spring.

"I have the experience, through 15 years of public service ... of
getting things done," O'Malley said on ABC's "This Week" program. "I
believe that new perspective and new leadership is needed."
When asked about his support for Clinton when he served in 2007 as
the chair of her Maryland campaign, O'Malley said he felt she was
the best choice "for those times."
He also noted that the presidential seat should not be "some crown
to be passed between two families."
