It's been a week of Hillary Clinton Benghazi emails and lots of Senate floor time for Sen. Rand Paul, with a little help from his friends on both sides of the aisle.
This coming week, we'll likely see four -- count 'em -- presidential announcements, a continued fight over surveillance, and more on Clinton's emails as secretary of state.
Here's a look at some of the stories the ABC News political team will be tracking in the week ahead:
FINALLY, CHALLENGERS FOR CLINTON
As we know, Bernie Sanders has already said he'll run for president, but he'll kick off his campaign with an announcement speech on Tuesday in his home state of Vermont. Martin O'Malley is expected to make his announcement in Baltimore, the city he governed as mayor, on Saturday. Hillary Clinton has a death grip on the Democratic nomination, but O'Malley and Sanders have proven at least nettlesome on trade and campaign finance, putting her in awkward positions on both, at times. The primary could very well be a story of Clinton being forced to the left, or of how far liberals are willing to go in expressing dissatisfaction with her.
MORE CLINTON-EMAIL MADNESS: BENGHAZI FALL-OUT, TIMING FOR THE REST OF IT
Not one but two Clinton-email story lines will be on display. First, any fallout over her Benghazi emails: Without many campaign events over the weekend, Republicans will get their first high-profile chances to respond on Sunday, and we'll see what talking points emerge. Second, on Tuesday we'll find out when the State Department will start releasing the rest of her emails(55,000 pages, redacted), as a federal judge ordered the State Department to file a schedule on that day. The emails will be released in batches every 60 days. We won't see any more of them on Tuesday, but at least we'll find out when we will.
