NY-17: Chelsea Clinton rules out running for Congress in 2020
Chelsea Clinton has ruled out running for Congress next year, batting down speculation that she may seek the open seat in her New York district after longtime incumbent Rep. Nita M. Lowey (D) unexpectedly announced her retirement last week.
The former first daughter joined ABCs The View on Wednesday as a guest host and was asked at the start of the show by host Whoopi Goldberg about her immediate political ambitions.
We have to start by asking because apparently there are rumors that you are considering running for Congress, Goldberg asked. Congresswoman Nita M. Lowey is not seeking reelection. Is that rumor? Are you thinking about it?
Im not considering running for Congresswoman Loweys seat, Clinton said. But, Whoopi, I understand why people are asking, and someone has asked me some version of that question for as long as I can remember.
