Will not run for public office again, says Clinton

Hillary Clinton said she won’t run for public office again, but the former Democratic presidential nominee isn’t giving up on trying to make her mark on American politics.
“As an active politician it’s over. I am done with being a candidate,” Clinton told CBS News in an interview before Tuesday’s release of “What Happened,” her memoir about the 2016 campaign and President Donald Trump’s unexpected win. “But I am not done with politics because I literally believe that our country’s future is at stake.”
Ten months after her loss, the former secretary of state and first lady said she’s still coping with it. “I think I am good, but that doesn’t mean that I am complacent or resolved about what happened. It still is very painful,” she said in the interview with CBS’s Jane Pauley.
Clinton’s language about her future in the interview is more definitive than in her book, in which she said she was “amused and surprised” by talk earlier this year that she was considering running for New York mayor. She said she needs to nurture younger leaders in the Democratic Party while adding that she’s not going to back down just because she lost the presidential race.
“If Al Gore, John Kerry, John McCain, and Mitt Romney can find positive ways to contribute after their own election defeats, so can I,” Clinton wrote in the book, a copy of which was obtained by Bloomberg News.
