CNN does the first piece on the return of Hillary Clinton….
There WILL be more…
Early politican’s ‘No’ have been known to change to ‘Maybe’…and later ‘Yes’….
I’ll be waiting for the poll’s….
In the immediate aftermath of the Supreme Court’s monumental decision to overturn Roe v Wade, conservative writer John Ellis took to the internet to make a provocative case: It was time for Hillary Clinton to make a(nother) political comeback.
“Now is her moment,” he wrote. “The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade creates the opening for Hillary Clinton to get out of stealth mode and start down the path toward declaring her candidacy for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination.”
Ellis’ argument is centered on the ideas that 1) President Joe Biden, who will be 82 shortly after the 2024 election, is simply too old to run again (Ellis is far from the only person making that case) and 2) The Democratic bench is not terribly strong
He’s not the only person eyeing a Clinton re-emergence….
…
So, just how far-fetched is a Clinton candidacy?
Well, start here: That a conservative writer is leading the charge — at least at the moment — for another presidential bid by Clinton should be looked at with some healthy skepticism. No candidate unites the Republican party — even with Donald Trump as the GOP’s likely nominee — like Clinton does. So, this may be a bit of wishful thinking by Ellis. Keep that in mind.
Then go to this: Biden is giving every indication that, even at his advance age, he is planning to run again. The New York Times posted a piece Monday night headlined “Biden Irked by Democrats Who Won’t Take ‘Yes’ for an Answer on 2024” that included these lines:
“Facing intensifying skepticism about his capacity to run for re-election when he will be nearly 82, the president and his top aides have been stung by the questions about his plans, irritated at what they see as a lack of respect from their party and the press, and determined to tamp down suggestions that he’s effectively a lame duck a year and a half into his administration.”
And finish here: Clinton has been pretty close to Shermanesque in her denials about even considering another bid….
