Chelsea Clinton said she would not rule out a run for political office in an interview on Thursday. Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, made the comments to The Journal News at a stop on her tour for new children’s book Start Now! You Can Make a Difference.

“I think if someone were to step down or retire and I thought I could do a good job and it matched my talents, I’d have to think if it’s the right choice for me,” Clinton said when asked about her political aspirations.

She added that she doesn’t currently “have any plans to run for office, but it is something I think about as I hope every young person thinks about it.”

“If you care about what’s happening in the world, you have to care about running for and holding elected office. I hope it’s a question that we ask ourselves,” she said. “For me, I live in a neighborhood in the city and in a state where I feel my family, and what I hope for the world, is well-represented.”

1. Well said.

2. I think she might do that, but I can't imagine that she relishes

being subjected to the swell of public opinion that would come if she does. I can't imagine she wants to put herself through that unless there is a very good reason to do so.

Personally, if I were her, I'd not do it. I can't even imagine what the Right will say if she does. It will be horrible.
