Hillary Clinton just will not go away. Even after her humiliating 2016 presidential election loss to Donald Trump, in which just about everyone – including then-President Barack Obama and Clinton herself – confidently predicted she would romp to victory, she has persisted. Now that the midterm elections are almost upon us, Hillary is back on the scene.
Bill Clinton is also hitting the campaign trail, heading to Florida in hopes of boosting David Jolly, the Republican-turned-Democrat bidding for the governor’s mansion. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is launching a podcast and has also made campaign appearances.
The podcast, with journalist Kara Swisher as co-host, will run through November and tackle the big issues that will decide who controls Congress in January 2027.
What Is the Hillary Clinton Agenda?
The question is why. The Clintons are deep-rooted Democrat establishment – political aristocracy, even. So, are they hoping to save the party’s old guard from the tide of progressives and democratic socialists who are clearly planning nothing less than a total makeover, tearing the leftward-drifting party completely away from what is left of traditional Democratic Party politics and transforming it into a true socialist party?
Maybe Bill and Hillary Clinton are all aboard the shift to the extreme left but still hope to set themselves up as power brokers behind the curtain. That could very well put them in competition with Obama, who will soon be out campaigning with the likes of radical progressive Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.
There’s also the possibility – as far out there as it sounds – that Hillary Clinton is testing her popularity and clout, weighing a possible 2028 presidential run. Sure, she has already emphatically ruled out another White House bid, but there’s a strange phenomenon in politics where people will say there’s something they will never do or never support, but within days, weeks, or perhaps months they are doing or supporting that very thing. As hard as it is to imagine politicians doing this, it tends to happen.
First, it is inconceivable that Hillary Clinton no longer desires to be president. Second, her party is somewhat at sea when it comes to viable 2028 candidates.
A Ship Without a 2028 Rudder
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been a disaster for California, is mired in scandal, and probably won’t play well in the heartland or the South as a presidential candidate. For that matter, he might not even get the backing of the long-suffering residents of his own state.
Kamala Harris, still a 2028 front-runner, according to many polls, ran her train-wreck of a campaign off the rails in 2024 – managing to lose the popular vote and every one of the seven swing states that year. When the chips are down, will her party or its voter base want to risk history repeating itself?
There’s Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who is an entirely unserious contender. Like Harris, AOC has proven herself incapable of framing detailed policies – instead delivering word-salad answers to any specific question.
Exhibit A, previously reported by Liberty Nation News: the 2026 Munich Security Conference. What the New York Democrat and former bartender was doing there is not entirely clear, but Ocasio-Cortez got some forum time and was asked: “Would and should the US actually commit US troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move?” Her answer was a complete summation of her knowledge of foreign policy:
“Um, you know, I think that, ah, this is … such a … you know, I think that this is a, um [extended pause]. This is of course a, uh, a very long-standing, um, policy of the United States, uh, and I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure we never get to that point. And we want to make sure that we are moving in all of our economic, research, and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation, and for that question to even arise.”
A few other Democrat names are batted around during discussions of 2028, but they are almost all white men. The left has for years wanted to install the first female president (which in itself proves they really do still believe in the binary nature of what they call “gender”). Hillary Clinton has the name recognition, of course, and isn’t it likely that both she and an awful lot of people on the left would see her entry into the White House as the ultimate revenge against President Donald Trump? The hated orange man, who denied her in 2016, having to hand over the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to Clinton in January 2029 would be, for any Democrat, the ultimate example of poetic justice.
Thus, despite her own protestations, it would not be wise to bet money against Hillary Clinton throwing her hat in the ring in 2028. Whether she would win the Democratic Party nomination is something else – and maybe she is now on a quest to find out. After all, if her party claims a resounding win in November and Hillary Clinton is able to cover herself in glory – justified or not – as the veteran who stepped up to propel Democrats to victory, she will certainly earn some 2028 credentials.
