It’s official, Hillary Clinton is hanging up her political boots and will not be running for re-election amid rumors of a potential return, she told CBS Evening News on Tuesday.

“Would you ever run for president again?” interviewer Norah O’Donnell asked the former secretary of state and first lady.

“No, no,” she replied. “But I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that we have a president who respects our democracy and the rule of law and upholds our institutions.”

Clinton then weighed in on the possibility of former President Donald Trump running in 2024, adding, “he should be soundly defeated” and “it should start in the Republican Party.”

“Grow a backbone; stand up to this guy,” Clinton stated. “And heaven forbid, if he gets the nomination, he needs to be defeated roundly and sent back to Mar-a-Lago.”
