What's Next For Hillary Clinton? Another Run For Office Could Be In The Future, But First A Private Speech At Wellesley College

Former Democratic presidential nominee and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke at her alma mater, Wellesley College, Thursday but the event was completely cordoned off from the press and even students who did not have tickets, Politico reported.

The event, which was a surprise visit after Clinton had originally announced she would deliver the school’s commencement address in May, was held at the LuLu Chow Wang Campus Center and billed as a lively questions-and-answer session with students and the winner of the 2016 presidential popular vote. Clinton graduated from Wellesley in 1969.

But unless you managed to gain entry with a ticket there was no way to hear what Clinton said or was asked. According to the report, the 1,000 students, staff and faculty in attendance were asked to power down their cellphones, perhaps in an attempt to allow the 69-year-old Clinton to fully speak without fear her comments would spread on social media or get picked up by the press. Especially if she was asked anything about President Donald Trump, who defeated Clinton in the Electoral College vote 306 to 232.

Wellesley's President Paula Johnson said in an email to the college campus that the event was kept under lock and key to “ ensure this remains a private Wellesley event,” according to Politico.

Since losing the election in November, Clinton has largely stayed out of the spotlight but like former President Barack Obama, she’s slowly started to creep back into public life. She is expected to attend International Women’s Day on March 8 and an LGBT Community Center event on April 10 in New York, University Herald reported.

Speculation and recent polls showed Clinton could get back into politics if she wanted. She is rumored to be considering a run against New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio.

In the 2016 popular vote, Clinton took down 65.8 million total votes, or 48.2 percent, compared to Trump’s 62.9 million, or 46.1 percent, a difference of 2.8 million votes, non-partisan Cook Political Report’s final tallies showed.
