Hillary Clinton on Monday ruled out a rematch against President Trump in 2020.
Clinton said for the first time on camera that she won’t run for the White House in the next presidential election, ending months of speculation that she might launch a third run for president.
"I'm not running, but I'm going to keep on working and speaking and standing up for what I believe," she told News 12 Westchester.
Though it appeared unlikely she’d run in 2020, she reportedly had told friends she was not closing the door on running again, as Trump faces indictments from special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible Trump campaign collusion.
Her former campaign chairman John Podesta in January called the speculation over whether she would launch another campaign “ media catnip.â€
“She’s not running for president,†Podesta said. “We got a lot of great candidates out there right now. I think the Democratic primary’s going to be a spirited one.â€
Just because she’s not running doesn’t mean she plans on staying silent, Clinton said.
