Failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton promised to help her party regain political ground ahead of the 2018 midterm election cycle, warning leaving President Trump unchecked would allow him to become “even more authoritarian.”

“I think that Trump left to his own devices unchecked would become even more authoritarian that he has tried to be,” Clinton said in an interview for podcast “Pod Save America” that aired Tuesday. “I am going to do everything I can with the most intense focus on 2018 that I possibly can bring to bear.”
