Will Hillary Run Again in 2020? Signs Say It Could Happen

Hillary Clinton wants to run for president again, co-ordinate to a new report.

"Hillary Clinton is up to something," columnist Michael Goodwin wrote in the New York Post on Saturday.

Hillary-watching has been a prime number sport of pundits and prognosticators who want to know whether her 2016 defeat at the hands of President Donald Trump is actually the last chapter in the decades of political prominence of the Clinton association.

Her recent activeness has ramped up speculation that she sees an opportunity in 2020. For example, she will exist making a public appearance at the Ozy Fest July 21-22 in New York City, according to United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland'southward Daily Post.

In his cavalcade, Goodwin pieces together stray bits of Hillary Clinton's public comments and finds a pattern that he thinks is laying the groundwork for 2020.

To begin with, he notes the frequency of the attacks on Trump from Clinton'southward Super PAC, which has taken an aggressive tone in opposition to Trump'south clearing policies and is funding small groups that are likewise opposed to Trump.

Goodwin wrote that her actions are those of "a mother hen to the fledgling activists drawn to politics by their hatred of Trump."

He noted that although the groups might take backed Bernie Sanders in 2016, "by helping to fund them now, she is putting them in her debt for later."

His speculation acquired many ripples on Twitter.

Goodwin admitted that the standard thinking is that the Clinton era is over, and the best role quondam President Neb Clinton and Hillary Clinton tin can have is kingmakers in the Democratic Party. He wrote that if they are raising money, it is for their ain purposes.

"When it comes to coin and power, the Clintons assume clemency begins at habitation," he wrote.
