Event Announcement Sparks Speculation
The Clinton Foundation announced that both Hillary and former President Bill Clinton would speak at the event. According to the press release, the focus will be on reflecting on public service achievements.
“The Clintons will share reflections on the noble and important work of public service – from securing peace, prosperity, and progress during the Clinton administration to uplifting millions of people through the work of the Clinton Foundation,” the statement read.
Despite the event’s clear purpose, online users speculated it might mark the beginning of a renewed political journey for Clinton.
MAGA Influencers Fan the Flames
Jason Miller, a senior advisor to Donald Trump, amplified the rumors by sharing a story about the event on X, formerly known as Twitter, writing, “SHE’S RUNNING!” The post quickly gained traction among conservative voices.
“Please… PLEASE run,” replied conservative commentator Kevin Smith. Another user added, “Please God let it be so.”Donald Trump Jr. also reacted, posting, “Just when I thought I couldn’t be more thankful…”
Clinton’s Previous Stance
Hillary Clinton, who lost to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, has previously stated she has no plans to run for president again. While she has remained active in public service, her focus has largely been on initiatives through the Clinton Foundation.
2028 and the Political Landscape
The speculation seems premature as the next administration has not yet taken office, and no official announcements about 2028 candidacies have been made. If Clinton were to consider running, she would be 81 years old in 2028.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly plans to keep her political options open for 2026 and 2028, hinting at a possible gubernatorial or presidential bid.
While the Thanksgiving buzz about Hillary Clinton’s political future stirred strong reactions online, it remains unlikely she will enter the race. For now, the event in Little Rock appears focused on celebrating past achievements rather than launching a campaign.
