On Wednesday, former first daughter Chelsea Clinton discussed the conditions in which she would potentially run for public office, reports The Hill.

An Overview of Clinton's Remarks

Clinton discussed the possibility of running for office during an interview with The Journal News. Clinton's interview largely centered around the promotion of her new book “Start Now! You Can Make a Difference." The former first daughter stated that were another individual to relinquish their position, she may then consider a political run.

"If someone were to step down or retire and I thought I could do a good job and it matched my talents, I’d have to think if it’s the right choice for me."

However, Clinton maintains that she has no current plans to seek public office. Although, she added that running for elected office is something which she hopes "every young person thinks about."

Chelsea Clinton followed up the preceding remarks by explaining the importance of caring for the country and seeking leadership:

"If you care about what’s happening in the world, you have to care about running for and holding elected office. I hope it’s a question that we ask ourselves."

The former first daughter also talked about her own community and the representation of others. She then professed that she "deeply disagrees" with President Trump on "everything practically."
