Bill and Hillary Clinton increasingly see Anthony Weiner’s mayoral campaign as an embarrassment and potential liability, and are signaling through associates that they are eager to see him exit the race, ABC News reports.

The pressure they are applying on Mr. Weiner to exit the race has been coming from those outside the Clinton inner circle, so far. According o associates who’ve spoken to ABC News, the Clintons and those close to them are worried that Weiner is not listening to outside advice.

Dee Dee Myers, a former Clinton White House press secretary, indicated during an interview on one of the Sunday talk show that the Clintons would like to see Weiner leave the race.

“This isn’t a story that anybody, particularly the Clintons, are happy to see splashed over the front pages and all over the news relentlessly – and I think they, as much as anyone, would like to see this go away,” Myers said. “If they could choose, they would certainly have Weiner get out of the race and Huma to get on with their life.”

In response, Mr. Weiner told reporters, Monday evening, that he is “not terribly interested in what people who are not voters in New York City have to say.”

Meanwhile, Weiner is showing no signs of an imminent exit. He is planning a new television ad with a fresh apology and a promise to turn the page and focus on issues facing New Yorkers, a campaign source told ABC News.
