Hillary Clinton fuels wild 2028 speculation with social media announcements

After announcing a speech in the coming weeks, speculation is building over whether Hillary Clinton could run for president in 2028.

Hillary and Bill Clinton will speak at the 20th anniversary of the Clinton Presidential Center in the coming weeks.

The Little Rock, Arkansas-based center includes the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum.

The event, scheduled for the afternoon of December 7, will feature remarks from the powerful political couple on their past political and philanthropic work.

“The Clintons will share their 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,” according to a press release in which the event was announced.

The event will also highlight how the Clinton’s have “empowered the next generation of leaders through the Clinton School, and deepened understanding of the work of the Clinton administration through the work of the Clinton Presidential Library & Museum.”

Online theories first began circulating shortly after the announcement was made about whether it could serve as a starting point for Hillary’s future political ambitions.

‘SHE’S RUNNING!’ Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Donald Trump, wrote on X with a link to a story highlighting the event.

Responding to the influential advisor’s post, many X users expressed both dismay and excitement at the prospect that Hillary, 77, could run for office in 2028.

“Please…please run,” conservative commentator Kevin Smith responded.

“Please God, let it be,” another user posted.

Others were shocked that Clinton could run for office again at age 81.

“At 81, I don’t think so,” wrote X user Brian Hassine.

“I long for the day when HRC is no longer part of the political discourse,” someone else wrote.

Hillary, for her part, has said she has no plans to ever run for president again.

When pressed by CBS News host Norah O’Donnell on whether she would run again in 2022, Clinton shot back negatively.

“No, no,” Clinton quickly responded at the time.

The curiosity about Clinton’s potential bid for 2028 comes just after this was reported by the American newspaper The Guardian Politics that Vice President Kamala Harris has told her closest aides that she wants to keep her political options open.

Those options include her running for president again in 2028, or running for governor in her home state of California in 2026.

“I’m staying in the fight,” Harris reportedly told confidants during phone calls.

A top aide close to Harris told Politico that the vice president has time to make a decision.

“She doesn’t have to decide whether she wants to run for anything again in the next six months,” they told the outlet.

“The natural thing would be to create some kind of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and make speeches and maintain her political relationships.”

Current Governor Gavin Newsom will be term-limited and will not be able to run for the Golden State again in 2026, although he is also believed to have Oval Office-sized ambitions.

However, on the popular prediction market site Kalshi, Hillary Clinton is not even on the list of those in line to win the 2028 Democratic nomination.

Although it does show that Newsom is the most likely candidate to be chosen as the next Democratic presidential candidate.

According to the site, Newsom has a 17 percent chance of winning the nomination, compared to Harris’ 7 percent.
