Hillary Clinton 2020: Former candidate 'deluged' by requests to run for presidency again, says 'never, never, never say never'
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has revealed that she is 'deluged' with requests to run for president again, sharing that she has still not ruled out joining the line of 2020 Democrat candidates. While making media appearances last month, Clinton had hinted twice that she could very well make a push into the election given her claims that many want to see her on the national stage.
Last Friday, she spoke on BBC's Graham Norton Show in London and confirmed that she would "have to make up my mind really quickly" as to whether or whether not she was going to join the race. When asked whether she would make a run for the White House for the third time, she did not give a direct response and instead said, "As I say, never, never, never say never."
However, she did agree that she needed to make up her mind quickly. She has already missed the filing deadline for the first primary in New Hampshire though there is no such deadline for the next caucuses in Iowa. Clinton also shared with Norton that she has been overwhelmed over the last few weeks as she thinks about running again.
Norton asked her, "The rumour mill is flying that you could step back into the ring" to which Clinton shared, "I hear that. I have been deluged the last few weeks with thinking about doing that, but right now I’m not at all planning that."
It was just last month that Clinton told BBC Radio 5 Live that she was under "enormous pressure" to consider running for the 2020 White House run.
With regards to her future in politics, she shared, "I feel a sense of responsibility partly because you know my name was on the ballot, I got more votes, but ended up losing to the current incumbent in the White House who I think is really undermining our democracy in very fundamental ways. And I want to retire him."
