Hillary Clinton Is Already Planning Her Cabinet, Reveals Big Role For Bill Clinton

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is all eyes on the White House as she is already planning her cabinet. In fact, former President Bill Clinton already has a place in her administration.

The former Secretary of State has been very vocal about giving her husband a position in the White House, and now she revealed more details about her plans.

In a campaign sortie in Fort Mitchell in Alabama on Sunday, Hillary Clinton said that she wants the former president to be “in charge of economic revitalization.”

“My husband, who I’m going to put in charge of revitalizing the economy, cause you know he knows how to do it,” Hillary Clinton said per ABC News.

“And especially in places like coal country and inner cities and other parts of our country that have really been left out.”

She went on to say that when Bill Clinton was president, “incomes for everybody rose.”

This is not the first time the former First Lady declared her plans of having her husband work with her administration.

When Hillary Clinton visited Kentucky earlier this month, she also talked about how the former President should come out of retirement given his experience and knowledge.

“I told my husband he’s got to come out of retirement and be in charge of this because, you know, he’s got more ideas a minute than anybody I know,” Hillary Clinton told the crowd according to The Blaze.

Bill Clinton remains popular in Kentucky, especially among predominantly white, working-class voters.

The former Secretary of State has been banking on her husband’s achievement during this campaign season. From time to time, she would speak of the things the former President has done to economy specifically regarding job creation and wage increase.

At last year’s debate, Hillary Clinton was even quoted saying, “The economy does better when you have a Democrat in the White House.”

It seems there is a mutual respect between the duo as the former First Lady also played a role in her husband’s administration. She has actively participated in policy initiatives and was even credited for attempting to overhaul the country’s healthcare system.

Hillary Clinton is currently leading the Democratic presidential nomination ahead of rival Senator Bernie Sanders.

Meanwhile, as the former Secretary of State prepares for her eventual nomination, she is said to be looking for a “running mate who could make a direct appeal to supporters of Bernie Sanders, bridging a generational and political divide.” The said revelation was made by people knowledgeable about her campaign to USA Today.

Insiders of her campaign revealed she is primarily looking for a running mate who has an impressive resume and the capacity to go head-to-head with GOP presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Among the names being floated around are Elizabeth Warren, who has since engaged in a Twitter battle versus the billionaire businessman from New York. She has stood her ground against the former The Apprentice host by calling him a bully and for building his campaign around “racism, sexism and xenophobia.”

However, the Senator has been critical of Hillary Clinton. Apart from that, they have not been close.

In the event Elizabeth Warren is not picked, it is expected that she chooses “someone who would both appeal to a younger demographic of the party that is identifying as independent and to the left of Clinton.”

“I don’t think she’s going to pick anybody who isn’t progressive,” shared Al Gore and John Kerry’s senior aide Bob Shrum.

Apart from the Senator from Massachusetts, the names of Senators Tim Kaine of Virginia and Sherrod Brown of Ohio have also been floated around.

Representative Xavier Becerra, Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Labor Secretary Tom Perez are also pitched as possible running mates.
