Hillary Clinton shares Beyonce quote hinting she may run for president in 2020: 'Power’s not given to you. You have to take it'
Hillary Clinton, who has been fueling rumors that she might make another run for the 2020 presidential elections in recent months, added further fuel to the fire by sharing a Beyoncé quote about seizing power.
Taking to Instagram to seemingly promote her latest children's book, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee shared a quote that read, "Power’s not given to you. You have to take it" to her 4.5 million followers. She uploaded it with the caption "Beyonce speaks the truth" and added a #GutsyWomen to the post as well.
Her followers seemingly took the post as a hint that the 71-year-old would be putting her hat in the ring for the 2020 elections again, with many encouraging her to step into the race.
"Take it Hillary. The presidency is yours!" one user wrote. Another posted, "Take that White House, Hillary!!"
It's not the first time that she has angled at making another run for the Oval Office. Earlier this month, she responded to a Donald Trump tweet where he suggested she should join the race “to try and steal it away from Uber Left Elizabeth Warren."
The president added that she had every right to join as long as she explained her "high crimes and misdemeanors, including how & why she deleted 33,000 Emails," prompting Clinton to hit back with, "Don't tempt me. Do your job."
She had also stated she was up for a "rematch" with Trump during an interview with 'PBS NewsHour' and said she was confident of beating him again -- likely referring to how she had won the popular vote in 2016 by more than 3 million. "Maybe there does need to be a rematch," she quipped. "I mean, obviously, I can beat him again."
Dick Morris, political commentator and former advisor to her husband Bill Clinton, had also floated the possibility. "I think it’s always possible that Hillary runs," he said during an appearance on 'The Cats Roundtable' this week. "You know, John, there’s a test you can do at home. Just put your fingers on her wrist, and if you feel a pulse, you know she’s going to run."
