Hillary Clinton’s criticism of ‘open border’ under Biden is a sign she WILL run for president again in 2024, says former adviser to Bill who now works for Trump
- Dick Morris was an adviser to Bill Clinton when he was Arkansas governor and later as president in 1992, but now advises Donald Trump
- He said both Bill and Hillary’s recent comments about migrants are a sign that she’s gearing up to run as Democrats’ ‘moderate’ option in 2024
- Morris predicted Clinton would announce a third White House bid if Democrats faced huge midterm losses in the Senate and House of Representatives
Hillary Clinton could be gearing up to run for president in 2024 as a ‘moderate,’ a former adviser to her husband said on Sunday
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s criticism of ‘open borders’ could be a sign that she’s looking to mount a third presidential campaign, a former adviser to her husband speculated on Sunday.
Dick Morris, who had worked for Bill Clinton and now advises Donald Trump, believes Clinton sees an opening for a ‘moderate’ 2024 candidate.
‘Hillary is just dusting off Bill‘s playbook that I wrote for him and applying it herself this year,’ Morris told radio host John Catsimatidis of Cat’s Roundtable on WABC.
He cited both the Clintons’ recent comments suggesting they’re aware of the worsening border crisis, striking a different tone than that of progressives in their party.
Clinton had a recent MSNBC interview where she condemned Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis for sending migrants from the southern border to Martha’s Vineyard but conceded that ‘nobody wants open borders.’
Morris also referenced Bill Clinton’s interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria last week when he said ‘there is a limit’ to how many migrants the US can take in before causing ‘severe disruption’ to society.
‘I see more and more signs that Hillary’s going to run. Bill … said there was a limit to the number of people the US can absorb. And Hilary a week ago … said Americans do not believe in open borders,’ Morris said on Sunday.
‘These are all signals that she is going to be the moderate candidate for president.’
He cited her comments stating that Americans do not want an ‘open border,’ which Republicans have accused President Joe Biden of creating
He predicted that she would wait until after the midterm elections – where Republicans are projected to take back the House of Representatives, while the fate of the current 50-50 Senate is uncertain.
‘She’s going to say after the election, “See, the left cost us the House and the Senate. If we stay with a left-wing candidate in 2024, we’re going to lose the White House. I’m the only one who will tack to the center and give us a chance at victory.”‘ Morris said.
‘I know that’s her strategy because it’s the strategy I designed for Bill Clinton in 1992.’
Clinton herself has vowed to never run for president again when asked last month, after losing the 2008 Democratic primary to Barack Obama and losing the 2016 general election to Donald Trump – but not before becoming the first woman to lead a major party ticket.
‘No, no,’ the former First Lady said when asked about her future White House prospects by CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell.
‘But I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that we have a president that respects our democracy and the rule of law and upholds our institutions.’
And while Clinton may not make herself a choice for voters in the next presidential cycle, a recent poll indicates that Democrat voters do want someone new in the White House.
The ABC News survey, released last Sunday, suggests a majority of Biden’s base would not count the president as their first choice.
Fifty-six percent of Democrats and left-leaning Independents said they wanted someone other than Biden to be the 2024 nominee.
Just 35 percent of the group favored his candidacy.
