Clinton doesn’t intend to run again
AS A PERSON, I’M OKAY. AS AN AMERICAN, I’M PRETTY WORRIED. THERE’S A LOT TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON
HILLARY Clinton, appearing at what was billed as her first post-election interview, says she is focused on “doing interesting things” but doesn’t think “that will include running for office again”.
Clinton appeared on stage at the Women in the World Conference in New York on Thursday for a Q&A with the
New York Times’ Nick Kristof. Kristof asked her about her future plans, even mentioning the possibility of running for mayor of New York.
Although Clinton said that she had no plans to seek elective office, it will hardly dampen speculation of her future plans.
The wide-ranging interview covered the crisis in Syria, Russian intervention in the 2016 election and her opinion of Donald Trump’s initial weeks in office.
“As a person, I’m okay,” Clinton said, describing her surprise election loss.
“As an American, I’m pretty worried. There’s a lot to be concerned about.”
She said she supports an independent investigation of Russian hacking into the election, including potential collusion by members of the Trump campaign.
Although Clinton did not say exactly what her plans were, she did say she wants to focus on children and the rights and opportunities for women and girls, as well as helping Democrats win back a congressional majority.
