In a Good Morning America interview Monday, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley said that while he supported Hillary Clinton's presidential ambitions in 2008, he doesn't support her 2016 run, because "times change."

O'Malley told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos that the Democratic Party hasn't fulfilled its promise to "make the American dream real again for more families." The interview came after O'Malley criticized "royal families" in politics and Wall Street's support of Clinton and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

O'Malley added that while he worked for Clinton in 2008, "times change, and different challenges require new leadership." O'Malley announced his 2016 presidential campaign on Saturday.
