Hillary Clinton considering 2020 presidential run
28 January, 2019
"Clinton is telling people that she's not closing the doors to the idea of running in 2020," CNN's Jeff Zeleny said Sunday (local time) on "Inside Politics."
"I'm told by three people that as recently as this week, she was telling people that look, given all this news from the indictments, particularly the Roger Stone indictment, she talked to several people, saying 'look, I'm not closing the doors to this.'"
The former Democratic presidential nominee, who lost to Donald Trump in 2016, did not say publicly she will run in 2020.
"Most losing presidential candidates never totally close the doors to running for president" Zeleny added. "But I think we have to at least leave our mind open to the possibility that she is still talking about it. She wants to take on Trump. Could she win a Democratic primary to do it? I don't know the answer to that."
So far, Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Kamala Harris of California have announced their bids to run for the presidency.
The chances of Clinton's win for the Democratic Party's nominee are not great. A recent poll shows that former Vice President Joe Biden was the most popular pick at 25 percent among those who considered themselves Democratic and independent voters, followed by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders (15 percent) and Clinton (13 percent).
