Online buzz hints at a possible 2028 run

The announcement quickly ignited online theories about a potential 2028 presidential bid by Hillary Clinton, who would be 81 at the time of the election. Prominent figures like Jason Miller, a senior advisor to Donald Trump, stoked the rumors, proclaiming, “SHE’S RUNNING!” Social media reactions ranged from enthusiasm to skepticism, with some embracing the idea and others dismissing it due to her age and past denials of future candidacies.

Hillary Clinton has repeatedly stated that she does not plan to run for president again, emphatically denying such intentions in a 2022 CBS News interview. However, the renewed speculation coincides with reports that Vice President Kamala Harris is keeping her own 2028 political options open, including a possible gubernatorial run in California in 2026 or another presidential campaign.

Newsom leads 2028 Democratic predictions

While Clinton’s potential candidacy has generated buzz, prediction markets currently favor California Governor Gavin Newsom as the frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic nomination, giving him a 17% chance compared to Harris’s 7%. Clinton is not listed among the leading contenders, but her upcoming speech has reignited conversations about her role in the party’s future.
