Ex-Clinton adviser doubts Hillary could win the Democratic nomination in 2020

Former Hillary Clinton campaign strategist Adrienne Elrod said Monday she’s not sure Hillary Clinton would come in first or even second if she tried to win the Democratic nomination in 2020.

“To be honest with you, I don’t know that a run this time around would yield a first or second place finish,” Elrod told Hill.TV. “I think there’s a lot of new people in the party who are stepping forward. I think we’ve got a very deep bench of strong candidates and she knows this.”

New York Post writer Michael Goodwin suggested over the weekend Clinton is secretly gearing up for another run, but Elrod dismissed that by saying the idea of a third run for the White House by Clinton is “silly.”

“It’s silly. It’s a pipe dream. I mean, look, she’s made it very clear that after this last run she’s done,” Elrod said.

Clinton said in September 2017 her career as an “active politician” was over after her loss to Trump in the 2016 presidential elections.
