Clinton Rejects VP Rumors

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flatly rejected rumors that she could someday step in as Vice President during a television interview Thursday morning.

“I do not think it’s even in the realm of possibility,” Clinton said in an interview on MSNBC’s Today. “It’s not a serious issue in the administration.”

The former First Lady and Senator noted that she believes Vice President Joe Biden has “done an amazingly good job.”

Speculation that Clinton, a Presidential candidate in 2008, could at some point assume the Vice Presidency has swirled since the early days of the Obama administration. The White House has repeatedly denied the rumors and Clinton said that nobody within the administration has even brought the subject up.

In a Bloomberg National Poll released last month, Hillary Clinton was found to be the country’s most popular politician, with two-thirds expressing a favorable view of the Secretary of state and one-third saying that the U.S. would have been better off if Clinton had been elected President.

Clinton has previously said that she will leave her position at the State Department if the President wins a second term.
