Clinton says she’s ‘done’

HILLARY Clinton says she is “done” being a political candidate, and that her shock US presidential loss last year to Donald Trump remains a source of deep anguish.

“It still is very painful. It hurts a lot,” the 2016 Democratic nominee said in an interview on CBS Sunday Morning, the first in a series of appearances to plug the upcoming publication of What Happened, her memoir about the campaign.

“I am done with being a candidate,” she said. “As an active politician, it’s over.” If true, Ms Clinton is closing the door on a storied political career that saw her become the first woman presidential nominee of a major US political party.
