Hillary Clinton won’t run for 2020 election

Hillary Clinton said Monday that she is not running for president in 2020 but will continue to speak out about politics, saying, “I’m not going anywhere.”

“I’m not running, but I’m going to keep on working and speaking and standing up for what I believe,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee told CNN affiliate News 12 Westchester.

POLITICO reports on how Clinton’s 2020 intentions had remained unclear until Monday. Given her status as the Democratic Party’s nominee in 2016, her presence had hovered in the background as the party’s crowded presidential field had begun to take shape.

Though she laughed when asked if she could ever imagine running for office again, Clinton did say she was still planning to be a vocal part of the political process.

“I’m not going anywhere,” Clinton told interviewer Tara Rosenblum. “What’s at stake in our country, the kind of things that are happening right now, are deeply troubling to me.“
