Former US secretary of state and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has held meetings with former Vice President Joe Biden and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar to talk about the 2020 presidential election, according to a report.

A source close to the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee told CNN on Friday that the meetings were held in early February at Clinton's home in Washington, DC.

The meeting between Clinton and Minnesota Democrat Klobuchar happened before she announced her bid on February 10 for the next year’s presidential election.

Biden has not announced his decision yet but is said to be moving closer to a decision on whether to run for president.

According to reports, Clinton who was beaten by Republican Donald Trump in the 2016 race is not ruling out contesting running for the White House again next year.

Last month, Clinton reportedly talked about the 2020 election with Senator Kamala Harris, Senator Cory Booker, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.

Clinton has said she still regrets losing the 2016 presidential face-off with Trump.

"No, I'm not over it. I still think about the 2016 election. I still regret the mistakes I made. I still think, though, that understanding what happened in such a weird and wild election in American history will help us defend our democracy in the future," she told graduating Yale students in May last year.

Clinton had been leading Trump throughout the campaign in most of the polls except for the last week of the election when she lost ground to Trump. Eventually, the billionaire businessman defeated the former first lady.

Clinton has, on numerous occasions, blamed Russia for losing the election to Trump, claiming that Moscow had colluded with her rival. The allegations, however, have been repeatedly denied by both Trump and Russia.

Clinton is not done yet and will eventually launch a presidential campaign to defeat Trump in 2020, a former aide says.

Several former associates of President Trump have been indicted in a probe by US Special Counsel Robert Mueller into allegations that members of Trump's electoral campaign team colluded with Russia to sway the 2016 elections in his favor.

Most recently, the investigation resulted in the indictment of Trump's longtime adviser Stone on seven counts.
