Thursday 30 June 2022 10:09 PM 'This is a silly question': Hillary Clinton hits back at reporter for asking if ... trends now
Former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton chided an interviewer when asked Wednesday if she would be supporting President Joe Biden in 2024.
'Look, I would endorse our sitting president - yes of course,' Clinton told NBC's Yamiche Alcindor. 'This is a silly question.'
Clinton said she believed Biden is the 'person most likely to win.'
'Joe Biden beat - in a huge landslide victory in the popular vote - Donald Trump,' the former secretary of state and first lady said. 'I think that says a lot.'

Yamiche Alcindor (left) asked Hillary Clinton (right) backstage about 2024 but also interviewed her at the Aspen Ideas Festival where Clinton gave her thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overrule Roe v. Wade
Alcindor also told Andrea Mitchell, who was anchoring MSNBC, that Clinton responded with an 'absolutely not' when asked if she'd consider running for the White House again.
Biden, then vice president, decided against pursuing the White House in 2016 as he grieved his late son Beau Biden.
Clinton, who had served as President Barack Obama's secretary of state after losing the Democratic primary to him in 2008, swooped in and eventually won the nomination - in a harder battle than expected against progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders.
She ultimately lost to Donald Trump, who Biden then beat in 2020 by more than 7 million votes. Clinton also won the popular vote in 2016, but Trump overcame her tally in the Electoral College.
Clinton's statement of support come after The New York Times reported this week that Biden is annoyed
