O'Malley has 'zero interest' in Clinton Cabinet gig. [View all]

"No interest in being a Cabinet member," he said after a campaign stop in Burlington at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 13. "There's a much easier path to that than the path I've chosen ... I intend to win."

O'Malley widely trails both Clinton and Bernie Sanders in Iowa and national polling, garnering support from just 4% of likely caucusgoers, according to The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg News Iowa Poll released Jan. 14. But O'Malley said voters will gravitate to him because he's not a longtime Washington insider and can unite both Democrats and Republicans.

​"My family and I put everything on the line here in order to give you a choice, because I refused to believe that this process was ordained from the outset," O'Malley told an evening crowd in Ottumwa as he neared the end of the stop. "If you lift up a new leader on caucus night, if you help me beat expectations, if you help me reach threshold or beyond, we can change our nation's politics."

At a stop in Fairfield, Jan Carey, 66, said O'Malley's stance on a Cabinet position impressed her and moved her closer to supporting him. Carey, a librarian, said the position showed O'Malley has integrity and is serious about selling voters on his platform.

"I want a president I can trust," she said, "who says what he says and means what he says. And that's how Mr. O'Malley comes across."
