Hillary Clinton makes first public speech since stepping down as Secretary of State and even shares the stage with her likely 2016 competitor Joe Biden
Hillary Rodham Clinton riled up supporters last night as she made her annual appearance at a women’s leadership awards dinner where she shared the stage with a potential rival in the 2016 presidential race: Vice President Joe Biden.
The Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards event on Tuesday night marked her first public speech since ending her much-praised stint as Secretary of State and it was held to honor the organization that she co-founded when she was First Lady.
Clinton, perhaps as popular as ever in her 22 years in national politics, said she has 'unwavering faith in the untapped potential of women and girls.
