Suburban New York Democrats want the Clinton machine back in Congress.

Top officials in the Westchester County Democratic Party were pitching Chelsea Clinton Wednesday on launching a 2020 bid for Nita Lowey’s seat in light of the longtime congresswoman’s retirement announcement, according to a party source familiar with the matter.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss closed-door deliberations, cautioned that Clinton hasn’t personally expressed interest, but said local party leaders were reaching out to her within hours of Lowey, 82, announcing she won’t run for reelection next year.

“If you’re a Clinton and you need a hook, this is a good one,” the source told the Daily News, noting that Lowey’s 17th congressional district includes Chappaqua, the ritzy Westchester suburb where Chelsea Clinton’s prominent parents live.

“I love the job. I would love it probably for another 10 years, but, frankly, 32 years is a great career,” the 16-term congresswoman told The News in a phone interview.

There’s so much that’s wrong with the premise of that statement...

The sad part is, this bubblehead Clinton royal heir will likely win and take up space for another 32 years.

Web must be so proud of his daughter.

Drudge is using an attractive photo..at least for her

Chelsea would not run unless everything is running on a wire, set up and a virtual certainty. If she fails we will never see her try again.

There must be at least ten local politicians who are vying for the seat for the Democratic Party. These are folks who aren’t going to stand to the side and ‘let’ Hillary’s daughter get it.

Not without substantial $ “motivation”.

[Deplorable American1776]

How about putting someone like a small business owner, a policeman, a firefighter or a train engineer in office?

Caroline Kennedy redux.

A congressional seat is small potatoes for a Clinton. She would need to take a huge pay cut from her current no show job. Also would be under government oversight for everything she does. That’s why she will hold out and wait for a Senate seat, then after two years run for POTUS.

She’s had so much work done she doesn’t look like her anymore.

Hat tip to the FReeper who came up with that nickname, I'm not sure who you are, but it's perfect.

Show me the DNA........ absent that your Web allegation is baseless

Freepers owe history to set the record straight with absolute proof

[I want the USA back]

Kicking out lowey so clinton can pretend to be a congresswoman for a few years and then run for president.

[RummyChick]

These are the true Clinton DNA genes through brother Roger. See any resemblance to Chelsea?

Maybe she and Hunter Biden can split the job... Chelsea can sell ‘speeches’ and Hunter can sell access...
