Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic candidate for president, still has a role to play as a “surrogate” for the party’s nominee in 2020, according to a Democratic strategist.
“She should not stay away — she absolutely has a role, she will be a surrogate for whoever the eventual nominee is,” Jennifer Holdsworth, the senior vice president of issues management at MWWPR Public Affairs, told Hill.TV on Friday.
“She has an absolute fount of knowledge that she’s going to give all of these candidates and tell them the pitfalls that they should watch out for, but also we have to remember this was a woman who won the popular [vote by] 3 million votes.”
Clinton reportedly met with two prominent Democrats, Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and former Vice President Joe Biden, to discuss the upcoming election at her house in Washington, D.C., earlier this month, according to CNN.
Biden has yet to announce a presidential campaign, but has said he is considering it, while Klobuchar announced her campaign soon after meeting with the former secretary of state.
