LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS: With Hillary and Bill Clinton gearing up for a big speaking engagement in Little Rock, Arkansas, some people can’t help but wonder: Is Hillary Clinton eyeing a 2028 presidential run?

On December 7, the power couple will mark the 20th anniversary of the Clinton Presidential Center. The event will take place at the William J Clinton Presidential Library and Museum, and it promises to be a walk down memory lane for the Clintons.

According to the official press release, "The Clintons will share reflections on the noble and important work of public service – from securing peace, prosperity, and progress during the Clinton administration to uplifting millions of people through the work of the Clinton Foundation."

But that’s not all. They’ll also touch on their initiatives "empowering the next generation of leaders through the Clinton School, and deepening the understanding of the work of the Clinton Administration through the work of the Clinton Presidential Library & Museum."

Hillary Clinton mocked over potential presidential run

As soon as the event was announced, theories started flying. Jason Miller — a senior advisor to Donald Trump — wasted no time stirring the pot. “SHE’S RUNNING!” he declared on X (formerly Twitter), linking to a story about the upcoming anniversary.

Social media erupted with reactions ranging from laughter to outright disdain at the mere thought of Hillary, 77, jumping into the 2028 race.

"Bahahahahahah please! That would be a GOP Christmas gift," one posted on X.

"LOL, she waited for Trump to not be able to run again. The thought of her campaigning again is comical!" another wrote.

"Running for……….. dog catcher??? You can’t do that to the poor doggies…!" a user quipped.

"Running from the new sheriff who’s coming to town?" someone else asked.

"They never learn No one cares about her Leave now so we can spare our eardrums from your shrill," read a comment.

"Eeww! I live in Arkansas and I do not know anyone who supports her or likes her whatsoever," another chimed in.



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

To be fair, Hillary herself has shut down the idea of another presidential run more times than we can count. Back in 2022, she firmly told CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell, “No, no,” when asked if she’d ever run again.

Still, that hasn’t stopped people from speculating. After all, the Clintons have a knack for staying relevant and this upcoming engagement could easily be seen as a soft launch for something bigger—whether or not that’s the case.

Kamala Harris is keeping her options open

The Hillary chatter comes at a time when Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly weighing her own political future. According to Politico, Harris has been telling her inner circle that she’s “staying in the fight” and considering her options for 2028—or even a run for California governor in 2026, once Gavin Newsom is term-limited out.

A close aide told Politico that Harris isn’t in any rush to decide.

"She doesn't have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months," they told the outlet. "The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships."

As for Newsom, the California governor is widely seen as a top contender for the 2028 Democratic nomination, with prediction markets giving him a 17% chance of securing it. Compare that to Harris’ 7% and the odds don’t look great for the VP, the Daily Mail reported.
