Hillary Clinton is disappointing some politically active people. And it's not just her supporters.
The political figure the right wing loves to hate made it very clear Tuesday morning that she is absolutely not running for president again. That's a minor blow for the part of the Democratic base that wants her to make another try, but it's a bigger blow for Republicans who have raised a great deal of money over the years by warning GOPers of the specter of a Hillary Clinton presidency.
"No, no," the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and former secretary of state said with a laugh during a "Morning Joe" interview Tuesday morning, when Clinton was interviewed to honor International Women's Day
"But I am certainly going to be active in supporting women running for office and other candidates who I think should be reelected or elected, both women and men," Clinton said.
"There's a big debate going on about the future of democracy," along with talk about the economy, climate change, health and other issues, Clinton added. "I will stay active in all those debates."
Clinton was speaking from Abu Dhabi, where she is the headline speaker at the Forbes 30/50 Summit to celebrate International Women's Day. Clinton was receiving a lifetime achievement award at the event.
After losing the 2016 general election to Republican Donald Trump, Clinton skipped the 2020 Democratic presidential primary and has remained active in politics and policy, particularly in the area of women's rights.
There has been speculation that Clinton might make a go for it in 2024, given incumbent President Joe Biden's age – at 79, Biden is the oldest president to be inaugurated – and the shaky standing of Vice President Kamala Harris in opinion polls.

“Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady — a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation — is a congenital liar.”
William Safire - 1996

For her, it would be the only possible way.
Thus concludes the good news for today.
How long before the Draft Hillary Committee opens for business? (With her support, of course.)
“I know I said I wouldn’t run, but they talked me into it.”
Who else do they have?
So, she’s running then.
That’s unfair or mean to “compulsive liars.”
They hate Tulsi Gabbard, even though they agree with her on most things, because she talks to people like Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck and she’s (mostly) on the right side of free speech/civil liberties issues, the kinds of issues that form the framework within which we can disagree 98 percent of the time and still have a civil society.
She’s kind of the modern-day Eugene McCarthy.
There is a decent chance they lose New York anyway.
“You won’t have Hillary Clinton to kick around anymore.”
But she’s entitled to it.
Warren/Booker?
And her hospitalization will be Trump’s fault.
Well, I’ll not argue with your point.
Biden was after all the Senator from Delaware a truly insignificant state. He was malleable enough to take care of DuPont and some banks
Because she knows she will already be president by then.
A quivering ray of hope for the world.
When she assumes room temperature I will celebrate and offer a little prayer of thanks for final justice.
I totally agree! Has everyone forgotten? She has said this every time she has ever run for anything. This is as good as a guarantee that she is planning to run if it is any way possible for her, just sayin’…
