After defeat: ‘Clinton will never run for office again’

WASHINGTON: Hillary Clinton will never run for office again after losing the US presidential election to Donald Trump in November after the most divisive campaign in memory, a confidante of the Democrat said on Sunday. “I think she’s going to figure out ways to help kids and families,” Neera Tanden, president of the Centre for American Progress told CNN. “That’s been what she’s been focused on her whole life, and a lot of issues that are affecting them, over the next couple of years.” “But I don’t expect her to ever run for any elected office again,” she added. Tanden was reacting to a New York Times article speculating about whether Clinton would run for New York mayor against the incumbent Bill de Blasio, her former campaign chief.
