Longtime Clinton Advisor: Hillary Will Run In 2020

Politico reports:

Two-time Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will mount a third bid for the White House, longtime Clinton adviser Mark Penn wrote in an op-ed published Sunday by The Wall Street Journal, predicted that the former first lady and secretary of state is readying a “Hillary 4.0” campaign for 2020.

In their Journal op-ed, Penn, an adviser and pollster to the Clintons from 1995-2008, and former New York City politician Andrew Stein wrote that in a 2020 run, Clinton would reinvent herself “as a liberal firebrand.” The twice-failed presidential candidate would not “let a little thing like two stunning defeats stand in the way of her claim to the White House,” they wrote.

Although she has routinely shot down talk of a 2020 run, Clinton said in an interview earlier this month that “I’d like to be president” after answering “no” when asked if she wanted to run for president again.
