Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton recently indicated she’s still thinking about running for President of the United States in 2020 and is in fact deluged by her supporters who want her to run.
Clinton appeared alongside her daughter Chelsea on The Graham Norton Show to promote their book, The Book Of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories Of Courage And Resilience.
Hillary Still Thinking About Running
While on the show Clinton made it abundantly clear she is still thinking about running for president.
When asked if she would be adopting a “Forget Me” mantra, Clinton responded, “Not yet.”
Norton then pressed her, “The rumor mill is flying that you could step back into the ring.”
Clinton responded:
“I hear that. I have especially been deluged in the last few weeks with thinking about doing that.”
She adds:
“But right now, I’m not at all planning that. I’d have to make up my mind very quickly because it is moving very fast.”
Clinton then details how she has no plans to leave politics and hopes to influence the election cycle whether she runs or not.
“I’m not leaving the political arena completely. I’m working really hard to make it clear that we have to hold our current leadership accountable. So I’m on Twitter. I’m not as I think clever as Chelsea is at dealing with a lot of the undercurrents of Twitter. I’m out there all the time sort of pointing out some of the foolishness and craziness that we are currently experiencing.”
Clinton then confirmed she isn’t ruling out a run for President.
“I’m not going anywhere. I just don’t know what role I’m going to be in.”
These recent comments by Clinton echo what she told Emma Barnett back in November.

When pressed by Barnett on whether she would run again Clinton stated:
“Well. Look, As I say never, never, say never. I will certainly tell you I’m under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about it, but as of this moment sitting here in this studio talking to you that is absolutely not in my plans.”
Another Candidate Drops Out
If Clinton does decide to run again, she will have one less challenger on the Democrat ticket as Kamala Harris suspended her campaign for President today.
To my supporters, it is with deep regret—but also with deep gratitude—that I am suspending my campaign today.
But I want to be clear with you: I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about. Justice for the People. All the people.https://t.co/92Hk7DHHbR

Do you think Hillary Clinton will run for president again? What do you think her chances would be if she does decide to hit the campaign trail again?
