It was a common story among the Women for Nikki group. Jamie Finch, its state cochair, who had phonebanked for Haley in South Carolina, said Donald Trump voters would regularly call her a cunt and a whore on the phone. I couldnt believe it, she told me.

If these kinds of attacks were predictableespecially after Trump declared that anyone who donated to Haleys campaign would be barred, permanently, from MAGA-landthey underscored the conundrum of being Nikki Haley. In the last throes of her run, under continual pressure to cede the nomination, she had morphed into a self-styled Joan of Arc of the GOP. As her campaign sank, she fired off Taylor Swiftflavored texts and emails celebrating little girls who had given Haley friendship bracelets, which the candidate began wearing on the trail, and invoking Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher, the conservative prime minister of Britain. We are blessed to live in a country where our girls can grow up and do anything they want to do, Haley said.

If the likeness to Hillary Clinton and her 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling wasnt clear enough, Haleys campaign manager, Betsy Ankney, told me Haley was now iconic, a historic figure. Nikki Haley is the single most successful female Republican politician in history, period, she told me during a rally in Massachusetts. That cannot be denied.

In that sense, Haleys political career had come full circle. She was inspired to run for Congress in South Carolina in 2004 after hearing Clinton speak at a leadership conference for women. The reason I actually ran for office is because of Hillary Clinton, Haley said in 2012. I walked out of there thinking, Thats it. Im running for office.

Naturally, both Trump and Ron DeSantis hammered Haley with Clinton comparisons during the primaries, an easy layup for GOP voters. Nevertheless, she persistedthough very, very carefully. This is not about identity politics, Haley assured Republican voters from the stump, trying to immunize herself against charges of wokeness. I dont believe in that, and I dont believe in glass ceilings either.

Hillary Clinton said voters need to accept the reality that President Joe Biden, 81, is old in a new interview with SiriusXM Progress host Zerlina Maxwell.

The former secretary of state and 2016 presidential nominee appeared on Mornings with Zerlina ahead of Super Tuesday and told listeners that former President Donald Trump, 78, is also old, yet more dangerous to the future of the country.

Listen to Clintons full interview with Maxwell on the SiriusXM app and web player now.

Ahead of a likely rematch of the 2020 Presidential Election, both Bidens and Trumps ages will be among the biggest issues of the 2024 campaign. Yet, so far, its been more a problem for Biden. Clinton pushed back against voters concerns though.

I would put Joe Bidens record up against anybodys Clinton said. He got a lot done, and were the better for it. If you are worried about that, listen to Donald Trump, who is ranting, making no sense, cant even remember who he is running against. He constantly talks about Barack Obama being his opponent. Last I checked that wasnt happening. So, if youre worried about a person not necessarily knowing whats going on, Id worry a lot more about Donald Trump.

In addition to addressing both Bidens and Trumps ages, Clinton also touched on why the 2024 Presidential Election is a choice of saving democracy, talked about Vice President Kamala Harris, discussed authoritarianism, and more.

So, really, pick between your two old ones and figure out how youre going to save our democracy, Clinton added. Because no matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you want to maintain freedom and the rule of law and protection for peoples fundamental rights, or at least I used to think so.

Clintons comments come ahead of the biggest voting day of the year, Super Tuesday, when voters in 16 states and one territory will cast their ballots. It also comes shortly after a New York Times/Siena College poll found that 61% of Bidens 2020 supporters now believe he is just too old to be an effective president.

Hillary Clinton Defends Biden's Age and Rips Trump in New Interview - SiriusXM Blog

In an interview for a Sirius XM radio show on Tuesday, former US Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said that President Joe Biden is old, but [has] been an effective president and does not pose a threat to our democracy, while his competitor, ex-president Donald Trump, is old, barely makes sense when he talks, is dangerous,and threatens our democracy.

Pick between your two old ones, Clinton said, laughing, And figure out how youre going to save our democracy. Because no matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you want to maintain freedom, and the rule of law, and protection for peoples fundamental rights, or at least I used to think so.

The presidential election in November is on track to be a rematch between President Biden, who was elected in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic and exploding racial tensions and now sees his approval rating among the lowest in history, and Donald Trump, the lightning rod of controversy who, after four years as president himself, sought to overturn the results of that election, culminating in the riot at the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021.

The issue of President Bidens aging has been a major concern for voters and the media, with a recent New York Times poll finding that a majority of those who voted for Biden in 2020 say he is too old to be effective in a second term. Biden, who will turn 81 shortly after the election, is the oldest person ever to serve as US president beating the previous record of 74, set by former President Trump.

Both men have been accused of cognitive decline, and both deny that they have dulled.

Clinton, who lost to Trump in 2016, also addressed the Supreme Court decision this week that overturned Colorados disqualification of the ex-president to appear on their states ballot in November. The case hinges on an interpretation of the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, which prohibits those who have engaged in insurrection from holding federal office.

The justices disagreed on the reasoning behind their opinion, with the conservative members of the court making a larger claim about the enforcement of that amendment, while the liberal justices limited their decision to a narrower response to this particular case. The nine members of the court, however, were unanimous in their decision.

Clinton said that while she does believe Trump should be considered an insurrectionist, she is not surprised this court would make this decision, adding that ultimately, its up to the American people to prevent [Trump] from getting near the Oval Office again.

At the World Economic Forum, the former presidential candidate highlights the potential upside of Bitcoin toward global financial stability.

The World Economic Forum, held annually in Davos, Switzerland, is a prestigious gathering that brings together leaders from across the globe, including political figures, business executives, and prominent intellectuals, to discuss pressing global issues.

In a statement at the forum, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed her concerns about the impact of cryptocurrencies on global finance. Clintons words reflect a growing debate around the role and influence of digital currencies in the international economic landscape.

I hope nation states start to pay attention to the rise of cryptocurrencies because what looks very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them has the potential for undermining currencies, for undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency.

Clintons comments on cryptocurrencies touch upon a broader economic phenomenon called de-dollarization. De-dollarization refers to the process where countries reduce their reliance on the U.S. dollar in international trade and finance, often by switching to other currencies or assets for their transactions and reserves.

This would lead to the global economys further adoption of Bitcoin and crypto.

A Columbia University student criticized former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons decision-making class for lacking depth and authenticity, saying she came across more as a politician while reading passages from her book.

Clintons class Inside the Situation Room, which she co-teaches alongside Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo, exposes students to foreign policy topics and is supposed to instruct students about how to make decisions at a national level. Fox News reported that the student, Laalitya Acharya, found the former secretary of state unrelatable, according to a TikTok video posted in December 2023.

I would have really, really hoped that she would bring in some more unique insights rather than her almost basically reciting passages from her book word-for-word during lecture, Acharya said in the video.

She went on to say the class felt like a one-sided speaking engagement, with Clinton failing to bring fresh perspectives on the classs topic, which Acharya said wasnt already expressed in Clintons book. Her assessment of Clintons teaching performance as uninspiringcontradicts the course description.

[The class] employs insights from diverse academic fields including political psychology, domestic politics, and international relations and the direct experience of high-level principals in the room to understand the key factors which underpin a nations most crucial decisions, according to the description.

Though Acharya said she did not regret taking the class, she had hoped Clinton would have been more candid.

I would have really, really hoped that she would bring in some more unique insights and more vulnerability and discussion on why she made the decisions that she did, what her insights were, what her thoughts were, Acharya continued in the video.

Acharya is not the only student who has criticized Clinton for being a disingenuous professor. Yahoo News reported in December that another student, Cate Twining-Ward, who wrote a letter to HuffPost, was initially eager to take the course but described her experience as feeling like the audience on a late-night talk show.

I am also discouraged that neither Clinton nor the dean attended a single weekly discussion section, let alone read the assignments we poured hours of work into writing, Twining-Ward wrote.Instead, these duties were handed off to the teachers assigned to lead the discussion groups.
