A brief flurry of 2016 speculation erupted on Tuesday afternoon when Hollywood Life reported that Hillary Clinton had rented office space near Times Square that would serve as her campaign headquarters for 2016. But the truth is a little less interesting, according to a Clinton spokesman. The rented space is just new digs for her current personal staff.
“Plan was for the personal office to move to NYC,” Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill told TPM in an email. “We did that last week.”
Clinton currently employs less than a dozen people on her personal staff. As MSNBC’s Alex Seitz-Wald noted, the new space — which includes nine offices and 14 workstations, per Hollywood LIfe — would allow for a little expansion.
The lease is for two years, Hollywood Life reported.
Ugh, so sick of her. Wish she would just open up a charity to focus on issues she cares about and skips running for president. Her statements on foreign policy lately have been too far to the right, but if she runs we are stuck with this neocon as our nominee.
Actual office space, or the movie? I’d be more impressed with the latter.
Umm she and her husband have opened up a charity…back in 2001. It’s called the Clinton Foundation and they’ve raised hundreds of millions.
Loved Office Space, never saw Campaign Headquarters.
Is it good?
It’s her husband’s charity but if she wants to work with it or start her own that’s great. Get her the hell away from U.S. politics. She’s too old to be president, her foreign policy views are horrible, and I am sick of both the Clintons and their stranglehold they have on the Dem Party.
