Bill and Hillary Clinton are sensing an opportunity to get back into the political fray as the Democrats look poised to be heading into a devastating midterm this fall.
Politico Playbook reported Friday that the power couple believe their centrist, deal-making brand of politics could be useful as party members have tripped up President Joe Biden's agenda.
They also believe that the public may have moved on from former President Bill Clinton's scandalous past, as the ratings for FX's Impeachment: American Crime Story - produced by Monica Lewinsky - were surprisingly low, Playbook said.
The Clintons, a bundler told Playbook, 'don't want to be pariahs anymore.'
'It's less about being kingmakers and more about being relevant and people seeing them as a net positive, not a net negative,' the source said.
Another source described their need to be involved in politics as a 'perpetual itch that will never go away.'
'They know how to slowly reenter,' the source said. 'The Clintons want to reset the board in their favor and then move the pieces.'
Bill Clinton was among the high-profile Democrats who attempted to convince moderate West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin that he should support filibuster reform.
The ex-president relished this opportunity, Playbook said, and has also been in touch with Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, another tough vote.
'I don't know her, but I like her,' Clinton reportedly said after his call with the Arizona lawmaker.
Sinema entered the House of Representatives in 2013, 13 years after Bill Clinton exited the White House.
Bill Clinton also pushed Biden to salvage his Build Back Better bill, which was derailed by Manchin before Christmas.
He said Biden could do this by focusing on a few items in the bill that Manchin wants.

“Centrist”?
Howard Stern somehow turned into a menopausal old woman. Him and all the cats.
Have they run out of people to kill?

Bill Clinton will always be “sex between the Bushes”
And Hillary’s only painting in the White House will be for being somebody’s wife. Some feminist.
Bill Clinton doesn’t suck, but he knows people who do!!!
They must be short in cash
“They also believe that the public may have moved on from former President Bill Clinton’s scandalous past, as the ratings for FX’s Impeachment: American Crime Story - produced by Monica Lewinsky - were surprisingly low, Playbook said.“
The ratings were low because America wants to forget the Clintons exist. But they keeping coming back like some horrible disease.
Running low on dough?
“... deal-making brand of politics...”
You mean, sh!tlery’s and the rapist’s brand of multi-billion dollar grifting.
This thieving, raping, murdering duo were spawned by Satan in Hell, and will return thereto.
I despise Democrats, all of them, without exception.
But I can and have to tolerate them. let them do their thing.
BTW I don’t think much of Republicans either.
Hillary is like a horror movie monster!
DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The worst part is that millions of voters will enthusiastically support her. I know several. Makes me wish for the asteroid.
Prison, that is where they belong.
What is bill’s and hill’s relationship?
They don’t live together.
The only time they are together is for a political photo ops.
They can’t stand each other but we are suppose to stand them?
Google Hillary and images. LOL 67 going on 90.
The clintons always have been pariahs and always will be. They cannot change their nature.
