In a stunning flash of self-awareness, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed she wouldn’t feel the slightest twinge of jealousy if Vice President Kamala Harris were to clinch the presidency in 2024. This revelation came during a riveting segment on ABC’s The View, a platform renowned for its intellectually robust discussions, where Clinton reminisced about her own failed 2016 campaign against Donald Trump. During this enlightening episode, co-host Sunny Hostin poked the bear by asking Clinton if she wished she had been the first female president instead of Harris, to which Clinton apparently replied with a nonchalant, “Not anymore.”
Clinton’s impact on this topic was noteworthy—not for its substance but for its sheer audacity. The former first lady, who only a short while ago was crafting a narrative of indignation due to her political misfortunes, now speaks fondly of her fellow Democrat. She recounted her joyful reaction when President Biden endorsed Harris. One has to wonder if Clinton actually means it or just feels like it’s safer to praise a fellow Democrat at this point. After all, praising her competitors seems to have turned into a survival tactic.
Crooked Hillary Clinton — still reeling from her humiliating loss to President Trump and desperately chasing relevance — says she's now a top advisor to Kamala Harris.

In true Clinton fashion, she articulated Harris’s vision of uniting the country, a strategy purportedly linked to national security concerns regarding “bad actors” like Russia and China. Because nothing says “unity” quite like a politician with a penchant for theatrics in a divided country. Clinton’s reflection on unity seemed to overlook the reality that political division is often stoked by the very party she supports, which has perfected the art of factionalism.
On the topic of political violence, Clinton urged a collective condemnation, recognizing the alarming attempts on Trump’s life. This comes as an interesting consistency, especially when one tracks the timeline of her own vitriolic commentary around Trump and his supporters. The moment appeared to be a rare admission—a glimmer of bipartisanship in a political world run amok with division. However, Trump adviser Alina Habba was quick to point out that Clinton’s calls for calm might ring hollow given her history of inciting division. If the roles were reversed, one can’t help but speculate how the left would react to statements made by Trump or his team.
As if trying to keep up with the ever-creative world of woke politics, Clinton is also traveling the country on a book tour for her latest literary endeavor, ironically titled Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty. The irony isn’t lost on anyone since many have speculated on what exactly Clinton has gained throughout her tumultuous career, other than extensive media coverage and an abundance of speaking engagements. The tour will sweep across the nation, ending in Seattle, so one can only wonder what kind of revelations await her fans in such a politically homogeneous city.
It’s clear that Hillary Clinton, in her self-promotional zeal, offers a real-time study in the messy and ever-shifting landscape of modern American politics, where the lines of clarity are as blurred as ever. As she strives to navigate the complex waters of political ambition without a life vest, Americans can only sit back and enjoy the circus.
