Hillary Clinton warned her fellow Democrats that their obsession with transgender people and police deprivation could cost them the 2024 presidential election.
The unsuccessful presidential candidate – who insisted it was “impossible” for her to run again – agreed when the Financial Times said her party seemed to be “losing focus by raising activist causes” that are only relevant to small minorities. “
In particular, Democrats seemed riveted to the “transgender debate”, said FT national editor-in-chief Edward Luce, jokingly: “What’s the point of portraying J.W. K. Rowling as a fascist?
Clinton, 74, agreed with his premise, Luce said, telling him: “We are on the brink of losing our democracy and everything everyone else is interested in is coming out the window.

Clinton speculated that if she had defeated Donald Trump in her doomed candidacy for president in 2016, the January 6 Capitol assault would have happened just at that time.
Asked about her winner’s future political aspirations, Clinton told Trump: “I think if he can, he will run again.
“I don’t know who will challenge him in the Republican primary,” she said.
As for her running, Clinton insisted, “No, it’s out of the question.”
“First, I expect Biden to run. He certainly intends to run, “she said of the commander-in-chief, who is currently suffering from humiliatingly low opinion polls and will be 81st in the next election.
“It would be very destructive to dispute that,” she said of the fight against Biden.
