Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton lamented Sunday that she finds herself “outraged every day” by President Trump’s actions in the White House.
Ms. Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, said during the Edinburgh international book festival in Scotland that she hadn’t completely ruled out running for public office if she suddenly felt the need to make a “positive impact” in politics.
“At [the] federal level, as much as I abhor so much of what President Trump is doing, I have a great amount of gratitude for what my congresswoman and my senators are doing to try to stop him at every point,” the 38-year-old told the crowd, the Press Association reported. – READ MORE
[divider][/divider]Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton announced Monday she is a “definite maybe” to run for political office in the future, saying she is “outraged every day by something our president has done or said or left undone or neglected.”
Speaking at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, Clinton outlined a host of grievances against the Trump administration, but emphasized she has no current plans to run for office.
“I think my family … is being really well represented,” Clinton said. “But if that were to change, if my city councillor were to retire, if my congresswoman were to retire, my senators, and I thought that I could make a positive impact, then I think I would really have to ask my answer to that question.”
She clarified: “For me it’s a definite ‘no’ now, but it’s a definite ‘maybe’ in the future because who knows what the future is going to bring.”
Earlier this year, Clinton said criticism against Ivanka Trump, President Trump’s daughter, is fair game and should be expected because she works for the president. Clinton last year had engaged in something of a Twiter spat with Trump, after media reports criticized Ivanka for sitting in during a meeting at the G20 summit in Germany.
“If Chelsea Clinton were asked to hold the seat for her mother, as her mother gave our country away, the Fake News would say CHELSEA FOR PRES!” Trump wrote on Twitter. – READ MORE
