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.' Former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton chided NBC's Yamiche Alcindor for asking her if she would support President Joe Biden in the 2024 race. 'Look, I would endorse our sitting president - yes of course,' Clinton said, adding, 'This is a silly question' 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 that there are questions about whether he should run for re-election, due to his advanced age and sagging poll numbers. This week Vice President Kamala Harris was asked by CNN's Dana Bash about comments the House's No. 3 Democrat, Rep. Jim Clyburn, said in support of Harris running for president if Biden bowed out, saying she was 'first on his list.' 'Joe Biden is running for re-election, and I will be his ticket-mate,' Harris answered. 'Full stop. That's it.' On Wednesday, the White House said the vice president wanted to clarify those comments, making the statement less definitive. 'The president intends to run and if he does, I will be his ticket mate. We will run together,' Harris said. Clinton spoke to Alcindor on the sidelines of the Aspen Ideas Festival, where the NBC News journalist also interviewed the former Democratic nominee onstage. There, Clinton spoke of her disgust with the Supreme Court of its ruling in Dobbs, which overruled the landmark Roe v. Wade case and push abortion laws back to the states. 'It's the most arrogant misreading of history and law that you could ever find,' Clinton told the crowd. 'It is so narrow and baseless.' Clinton said it was 'not only ignorant, but almost dismissive to the point of contempt for women's lives and women's choices and the difficulties that women of all backgrounds - and this has nothing to do with your opinion, your personal opinion, your religious belief.' 'That was the whole point of choice,' Clinton added. She talked about how she knew Justice Harry Blackmun, who had been appointed to the court by Republican President Richard Nixon, and was assigned to the Eighth Circuit, which included Arkansas where Clinton practiced law. 'He would come and he would speak and he was very candid. And he kept saying ... what we're trying to do is to leave this choice to the individual, to her conscience, to her doctor,' Clinton recalled. 'And he used to say, who would decide this choice? Would the government decide this choice - whether it be local government or federal government.' Clinton, who was appearing at Aspen, in part, to honor the life of the late Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, explained why she, too, would be concerned. 'I think Madeleine would be as worried as I am, both about the impact of the decision on real women's and families' lives, but also about what it says about how our country is retreating from trying to figure out how we have a big, inclusive, pluralistic democracy.'
