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.

If I had a nickel for every time she has said "democracy" in the past many months.
Oh really? The Obama cabal must have left a horse head in her bed.
Unless her health absolutely prevents her, or one of many possible scandals gains traction, she will be running, count on it.
Of course we all know she’s a compulsive liar.
Makes her seem magnanimous.
She’s going to hold off “changing her mind” until all the libs beg her to run.
Like the Partridge Family sang, “Doesn’t somebody want to be wanted like me?”
Hillary knows....she’s not going to be a 3 time loser...
Her plan is to get the top job without being elected.

Hmmm...don’t know what to think. Didn’t the Clintons just start up another charity/fund the other day? That would only work if they were in power again.
If true, who has Obama picked? Michelle?
Biden will be too far gone to even fake it by then.
Deep State has someone else in mind.
They don’t have a deep bench, but do have a yuge collection of dunce chairs.
Come on man! Jackson gets rejected for SCOTUS. Plan B: Kamala resigns and takes it.
Last, Hillary gets the VP slot and Bidet resigns after 2 years. Incumbency 2024.
Letitia James had been running for NYS gov for only 24 hours before she suddenly...changed her mind.
Sound familiar...?
She could barely stand up in 2016; in what condition would she be (if still alive) in 2024?
Obama told her his wife is running, to carry the Leftist banner against the ineffective Biden.
It’s a huge disappointment for me as well. I was looking forward to Clinton vs Trump, round 2.
Not too concerned about Heels up Harris or Stacey “the Malevolent Manatee” Abrams. Pete “Pull the Train” Butt (write your own joke here) will be saddled with all the issues with the failures in national transportation.
When you look at it, their best candidate is Gabbard.
Oh sh*t... that means she’s running again
What exactly is she getting a lifetime achievement award for?
Lying, cheating, selling technology for cash, obfuscation, lying to Congress, dirty tricks campaigns?
