Former State Secretary Hillary Clinton ran for president twice and lost both times. Now, she is being named as a possible contender in the next presidential election.
The dream shall never die.
The speculation started last week. On Thursday, Clinton made headlines for appearing on video crying over her would-be 2016 victory speech.
“I’m going to face one of my most public defeats head-on by sharing with you the speech I had hoped to deliver if I had won the 2016 election,” she said on MasterClass.
“I’ve never shared this with anybody. I’ve never read it out loud, but it helps to encapsulate who I am, what I believe in, and what my hopes were.”
Jason Miller, once a senior adviser to former President Donald Trump, discussed the video on the podcast War Room later that day.
“We have known Hillary Clinton for decades now,” Miller said. “Everything is calculated or built toward self-promotion.”
“Hillary is trying to humanize herself and inject herself into the 2024 presidential discussion.”
As a veteran pol, Clinton will likely stump for the Democrats in next year’s midterm elections. Miller said to watch Clinton’s political activities for signs.
After the 2018 elections, Clinton was floated as a possible contender in the 2020 election. Around that time, she made headlines for her controversial interview with The Guardian, when she called on European countries to curb immigration. Ultimately, she did not run in 2020.
Miller continued, “Crooked [Hillary Clinton] is circling around Joe Biden almost like a buzzard looking at the carcass on the ground, saying, ‘It’s not going to be Joe Biden, it’s not going to be Kamala Harris. How can I go and insert myself into this national discussion and remind people that I’m still here?'”
On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki fielded questions about some Democrats’ ambitions to succeed President Joe Biden.
One reporter asked the White House, “There was another round of stories over the weekend about the political fate of the President and the Vice President and who might run in 2024. And it quotes a lot of other Democrats or people who work for them. What is the White House’s message to those Democrats?”
Psaki responded, “The President has every intention of running for reelection.”
She also chastised the press for focusing on this story, instead of the pandemic, the unemployment rate, or Americans’ personal finances.
Nonetheless, Miller has been predicting a new Democratic nominee for president in 2024.
On Fox News in October, Miller predicted Vice President Kamala Harris or California Gov. Gavin Newsom as successors.
