A former aide to President Bill Clinton, Dick Morris, said in a recent interview that Hillary Clinton is setting herself up to enter the race as a “moderate” choice for Democrats in two years. It would be Hillary’s third attempt at the White House.
Morris made the reference to a recent appearance on MSNBC where Hillary Clinton criticized sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard but did say that “nobody wants open borders.”
“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,” the former advisor, who also advised former President Donald Trump, said.
Despite Clinton publicly stating that she is a ‘no-go’ for President in 2024, Morris is convinced she’s running. “I see more and more signs that Hillary’s going to run,” Morris told John Catsimatidis on his WABC 770 AM radio show in an interview that aired Sunday, noting that she has been remarking that Americans “do not believe in open borders.”
“These are all signals that she is going to be the moderate candidate for president. 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.
Morris said he’s aware of the strategy she’s employing “because it’s the strategy I designed for Bill Clinton in 1992” when he won the Democratic nomination.
“Hillary is just dusting off Bill‘s playbook that I wrote for him and applying it herself this year,” he said.
