Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton talked about her husband former President Bill Clinton’s role in her administration if elected in an interview that aired Monday evening. She said they want to “win the White House back.”
During the second segment of her “Meet the Press” appearance, Clinton explained that Bill “is a great adviser and he knows just as much about the economy and how to get jobs created and how to help people see their incomes rise as anyone I could talk to.”
Host Chuck Todd cut her off and asked if this would mean the 42nd president would have his own office in the 45th president’s White House. Hillary didn’t rule the idea out, but said, “He’s a pretty busy guy. I don’t know anything like that. But I’m not counting my chickens before they hatch.”
The two have worked together throughout their political careers, but the former president has taken a side seat as Hillary makes her second run for the Democratic nomination in order for her to claim more of the spotlight. But Bill’s role seems likely to grow as the race progresses.
“I just want to be sure that we get the chance to earn the votes of the American people and to win the White House back,” Clinton said.
