Hillary Clinton gave what seemed to be a hint at her future plans at a Saint Patrick’s Day event in Scranton, Pa., on Friday.
Speaking at the 19th annual Saint Patrick’s Day Celebration for the Society of Irish Women, the failed 2016 presidential candidate made a reference to the highly publicized first sighting of Clinton following her election loss to Donald Trump, when two days later a hiker in Chappaqua ran into Clinton while on a walk in the woods, and snapped a picture with her.
“I am ready to come out of the woods,” Clinton said. “And to help shine a light on what is already happening around kitchen tables, at dinenrs like this, to help draw strength that will enable everybody to keep going.”
That comment came after Clinton made repeated jokes about walking in the woods.
There have been numerous reports in recent weeks that Clinton is eyeing a run for New York City mayor, but nothing is confirmed yet.
Clinton also remarked Friday that the country “seems so divided right now.”
“I do not believe that we can let political divides harden into personal divides,” Clinton said. “We can’t just ignore or turn a cold shoulder to someone because they disagree with us politically. We’ve gotta keep trying to listen to each other and to reason together and try to work to help people have better lives going forward.”
