Chelsea Clinton doesn’t rule out the possibility of running for political office
The Hill’s Gossip Blog reports that Chelsea Clinton is no longer ruling out a potential run for political office:
Chelsea Clinton says when people ask her these days whether she wants to go into politics, her answer isnβt an automatic βno.β
The 34-year-old former first daughter toldΒ Fast CompanyΒ in anΒ interview published Monday, βfor so long the answer was just a visceral no. Not because I had made any conscientious, deliberate decision, but since people had been asking for as long as literally I could remember, it was no.”
Now, the only child of former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explains, “I live in a city and a state and a country where I support my elected representatives. If at some point that weren’t the case, and I didn’t support my mayor or my city councilwoman or my congresswoman or either of my senators — and I’m lucky to live in a state where I have lots of women representing me, you know — maybe then I’d have to ask and answer the question for myself, and come to a different answer.”
I have nothing against Chelsea Clinton personally, and from what I’ve seen she’s conducted herself over the last several years with class, dignity and grace, but if her politics are anything like her parents’, and I strongly suspect they are, then she’ll just be another Clinton for conservatives to oppose on down the road. Β Question is – will the American people experience Clinton fatigue in the future much as they seem to have Bush fatigue? Β As they say, stay tuned.
