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.

I really want the high definition version of Hillary
not to ever leave the political stage at this point.
She is doing a service in my mind simply being stuck
around Bill for companionship—till death may Bill fart.
They are having a midlife crisis. Which means they will live to 170.
LOL
Daily Mail didn’t have much to say in that article...
They know, the Clinton’s have enough baggage, that DJT WILL WIPE THE FLOOR WITH HER....
enough said...
I used to listen to the great conservative George Putnam’s radio show back in the 1990’s. He used to say, “The Clintons will always be with us.” He was right.
Hillary is 74
and both have many HEALTH ISSUES...
HILLARY thinks we have forgotten, BENGHAZI....we have NOT, nor will we ever...she and Barry Hussein own that era, until they take their last breath..jmo
ok 74 going on 94....she looks terrible
She should be bored in a 6x6x6 prison cell.
I thought this was the Babylon Bee.
he wants protected access to little girls again.
No doubt, the old geezer is still a lecher.
Her most enthusiastic supporters I know are liberal women over 50. The pussy hat set.
She’s morphing into Madeline Albright and/or Helen Thomas.
“Hillary and Bill Clinton want to get BACK into politics following ‘low ratings’ in FX’s Impeachment series and ‘don’t want to be pariahs anymore’”
Hillary and Bill Clinton want to get BACK into politics to further increase their “charity” foundation’s net worth to $3 billion. Oh by the way, they give 10% of donations to actual charity causes.
There, fixed it
Okay, who has that GIF of Hillary trying to get into the van?
‘I don’t know her, but I like her,’ Clinton reportedly said
I’ll just bet.
She still drinking her baby juice to keep her young?
Charges & indictments must be right around the corner?
Running for office is the best criminal defense.
Turns everything into “it’s all politcs”
The Clintons don’t see that the reason nobody watched the series, is because the people are WAYYyyyy over them. They are old news, and BORINNNNG.
