Hillary Clinton has not ruled out running for President again in 2020

Hillary Clinton 2020

She’s considering having another crack at the whip.

Hillary Clinton may not be ready to give up on her Oval Office dreams just yet.

The 71-year-old ran against Donald Trump in 2016, and lost (obviously). It wasn’t a landslide by any means, however. In fact, Clinton actually won the popular vote, meaning that more people actually voted for her than they did Donald Trump.

Not winning the last election hasn’t put her off, seemingly, as CNN has reported that the former First Lady hasn’t ruled out the possibility of running again in two years’ time.

According to CNN’s Jeff Zeleny: “Clinton is telling people that she’s not closing the doors to the idea of running in 2020.

“I’m told by three people that as recently as this week, she was telling people that look, given all this news from the indictments, particularly the Roger Stone indictment, she talked to several people, saying ‘look, I’m not closing the doors to this’.”

This does not mean that there is a campaign in the works or anything, but it sounds like the chance is there.

Clinton would potentially face competition from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Beto O’Rourke and Elizabeth Warren, who are just some of the names being discussed as a potential Democratic nominee.

She would then most likely run against Trump, who is the most likely person to be the Republican candidate for the gig.

Donald v Hillary again in 2020? Don’t rule it out…
