After two failed presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2016, 74-year-old Hillary Clinton declared that she will never run for office again.

After President Joe Biden was accused of referring to Donald Trump supporters as a threat to democracy, the former secretary of state stated that she would instead do everything in her power to ensure that whoever occupies the Resolute Desk respects our democracy.

Hillary Clinton: "I Will Not Run For President Again"

Hillary Clinton is touring to promote her daughter Chelsea Clinton's new AppleTV+ docuseries. Beginning on Friday, the show Gutsy will be available to stream. It will follow a mother-daughter team as they go on trips to highlight "brave and daring" women.

The actresses Kate Hudson, Mariska Hargitay, and Goldie Hawn, the comedian Amy Schumer, Kim Kardashian, and the women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe are just a few of the well-known ladies that appear on the show.

Clinton resisted the idea when questioned in March about running for president again. During an interview earlier this year, Morning Joe anchors on MSNBC asked the former Democratic presidential contender about the possibility. The candidate smiled and responded, "No."

With a recent poll of Democratic lobbyists and advocacy groups revealing that if the incumbent doesn't run, their next choice in line is Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. There is trepidation about the possibility of Biden, 79, running for reelection in 2024.

But in her CBS interview, where she declared that she would never again run for the highest position, Hillary Clinton put an end to any rumors that she might do so. She failed to defeat Barack Obama in the primary in 2008, and she was humiliatingly defeated by Trump in the general election that year.

An email issue surrounding the handling of her official account while she was Secretary of State was one of the key reasons she lost support from the moderate members of her party, as per Daily Mail.

Clinton Faces Backlash Over Comment About Trump's Mar-a-Lago Docs

On Tuesday, Clinton came under fire for her assertion that investigations had shown she had zero sensitive emails on her server. The former first lady responded to analogies made between her earlier email issue and the current FBI investigation into the late president Trump for allegedly retaining classified papers on Twitter in a lengthy conversation.

A 2018 Department of Justice inspector general's report that indicated 81 email chains including roughly 193 individual communications were classified from the CONFIDENTIAL to TOP SECRET levels at the time" was ignored, and some Twitter users blasted this thread as astonishingly untrue for doing so.

Additionally, media outlets have made an effort to protect Clinton from analogies to the FBI probe into Trump. Ruth Marcus, the deputy editorial page editor at the Washington Post, claimed in August that despite Comey having previously acknowledged that Clinton had access to sensitive information but not recommended criminal prosecution, there was no double standard between the two political personalities.

The Atlantic went farther on Wednesday, stating that the criteria Comey applied to Clinton should not be applied to anyone else who might have had access to confidential documents, according to Fox News.

When asked about the recent raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate during the on-air love-in, Clinton, 74, said it was terrifying to find that the former president had documents about a foreign country's nuclear capability.

Chelsea also added her two cents, asserting that Trump has mainlined hate in America. Others criticized the co-hosts of 'The View' for not discussing Clinton's choice to utilize a private email server while she was secretary of state, New York Post reported.
