As her mother’s political machine gears up for a potential 2016 presidential run, Chelsea Clinton says politics could be in her future, too.
“Right now, I’m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative. If at some point that weren’t true and I thought I could make a meaningful and measurably greater impact, I’d have to ask and answer that question,” she said in an interview with NBC’s “Today Show” that aired on Monday. She is also a special correspondent for NBC News.
As the daughter of two of the most recognizable and influential Democrats in recent history, Chelsea Clinton clearly has politics in her blood.
But right now, it’s her mother’s future that’s in the spotlight. Former secretary of state and presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton is being lobbied by supporters to run again in 2016, as President Obama’s second term is ending.

I believe the last British prime ministers to have a relative who held high office was Winston Churchill – and left politics 60 years ago. Most of the USA’s other (European) allies don’t have leaders “following in their family tradition, though it does seem common in Asia. With all our “royalty” (Kennedy, Cuomo, Romney, Bush, and now Clinton) the US is becoming un-republican (that a lower case “r” in republican).
please can we get some non-bribe taking people into power, enough of this bizayon called Clinton family.
I didn’t know Chelsea looked exactly liked her father.
