Hillary Clinton is seriously considering a run for New York mayor, according to a major city political insider, who claims she’s “50-50.”
Supermarket magnate John Catsimatidis said he talked to the failed Democratic presidential nominee, and came away convinced she may try to resurrect her political career by challenging Mayor Bill de Blasio this year.
“I spoke to her about it, but she didn’t indicate or signal to me [whether she would run]. She didn’t say never, she didn’t say no. In my personal opinion, it’s 50-50,” the billionaire owner of Gristedes Foods told The Real Deal real estate blog Monday.
Catsimatidis, who supported Clinton as a donor, said he will delay his own decision to run for mayor until the former secretary of state makes up her mind.
“If Hillary runs, I won’t,” said Catsimatidis, who ran in the 2013 New York mayoral primary as a Republican, but lost to Joe Lhota.
Catsimatidis’ claim comes as reports say Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, are talking to top advisers about how they can get back into the political fray.
Hillary is receiving briefings from her former campaign manager Robby Mook explaining what went wrong in the presidential race, while Bill has been blasting FBI Director James Comey for interfering in the election, according to Politico.

I bet she would royally screw up snow and garbage removal.
She’ll run for mayor if she thinks there’s money in it for her.
thanks...that also is an opinion piece about someone’s opinion about Hillary running or not.
You need to hold public office to run the scam.
exactly, can she convince the hollyweird /hedge fund people to keep donating again and again to her crime foundation?
I hope she runs and wins. The liberals are deserving of that outcome. They deserve a dishonest, clueless, carpetbagger bitch in charge.
They will quickly be reminded that “she ain’t from around here”.
Hillary would win. NYC has a lopsided 9-1 Democratic Party voter registration.
The real question is what’s in it for her running the largest city in the country?
A step down from being President for sure.
Don’t you just love the words, “failed Democratic presidential nominee?”
Hopefully some smart Freeper will answer the Big Question:
Assuming you have been buying White House influence for something like $250,000 per 30 minute speech, what would you be willing to pay for New York City Hall influence?
This question really needs to answered before Hillary can get off the 50/50 dime and make her decision on whether or not to run for NYC Mayor.
"So I deleted tens of thousands of e-mails after they
were subpoenaed. At this point what difference does
it make? I want to run for mayor."
If the people of NYC will elect someone like DeBlasio or whatever his name is, they will elect anyone.
yawn
Hildebeast will probably make the call if/ when she knows if she will be indicted for the crime foundation.
Rudy Giuliani could run for N.Y.C. mayor, again, and make the political race interesting.
Preet Bhara is still on heroes.
Rudy should mock litigate the case against the crime foundation during the debates...
She needs to spend her remaining time playing with her grandchildren and get the hell out of our lives.
