Hillary Clinton is still eyeing a possible presidential run in 2024 after making comments about open borders, according to Dick Morris, a former adviser and strategist for former President Bill Clinton.
She is hoping to run as a centrist Democratic candidate despite denying any presidential plans last month, Morris said. Her comment on no one wanting an open border is part of a “playbook” Morris created for Bill Clinton.

“Hillary is just dusting off Bill‘s playbook that I wrote for him and applying it herself this year,” Morris told radio host John Catsimatidis on Cats Roundtable on WABC. “I see more and more signs that Hillary’s going to run. Bill said there was a limit to the number of people the U.S. can absorb. And Hillary a week ago … said Americans do not believe in open borders. These are all signals that she is going to be the moderate candidate for president.”
Both Clintons made comments on the border crisis last week, with Hillary Clinton condemning Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for sending immigrants from the border to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts last month.
“Nobody wants open borders … but nobody wants inhumane, terrible treatment of human beings either,” Clinton told MSNBC host Joe Scarborough. “Some politicians would rather not only have an issue but exacerbate it to the extent of literally human trafficking.”
Morris predicted that Hillary Clinton would wait until after the midterm elections to announce her candidacy, claiming she would throw more progressive candidates under the bus if Democrats lose the majority in both state houses.
“She’s going to say after the election, ‘See, the Left cost us the House and the Senate. If we stay with a left-wing candidate in 2024, we’re going to lose the White House. I’m the only one who will tack to the center and give us a chance at victory,'” Morris said. “I know that’s her strategy because it’s the strategy I designed for Bill Clinton in 1992.”
Hillary Clinton has denied any plans to run for president again, saying she would now work to help elect future leaders.

“I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that we have a president that respects our democracy and the rule of law and upholds our institutions,” she told CBS News.
Clinton most recently ran for president in 2016 but lost to former President Donald Trump. She also lost the Democratic primary to former President Barack Obama in 2008.
