When asked about her plans to run for president again, Clinton said that she did not plan on doing so. “Morning Joe” if she’d be open to running, Clinton quite literally laughed out loud.
Clinton appeared on the MSNBC program in conjunction with winning the Forbes International Women’s Day Lifetime Achievement Award, and towards the end of the conversation co-host Mika Brzezinski asked if Clinton would be open to running for president again sometime in the future.
The ex-senator laughed and replied, “Well no. But I am certainly going to be active in supporting women running for office and other candidates who I think should be re-elected or elected, both women and men, because I think there’s a bit debate going on, as you know so well Mika, in our country but in other countries as well, about the future of democracy, of economic opportunity, of climate change, of health and other important issues. So I will stay active in all of those debates.”
Brzezinski responded, “We need you, Madam Secretary.”
