Chelsea Clinton's team is denying reports that she plans to enter the race to replace retiring New York Rep. Jerry Nadler as Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg considers a run.
A spokesperson for the 45-year-old daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told USA TODAY in a statement Sept. 3 that she is "not considering a run." The comments come two days after Nadler, 78, announced Monday, Sept. 1 that he would vacate his seat.
Clinton has previously passed on the chance to follow in her parents' footsteps. During an October 2019 appearance on "The View," Clinton told the panel that she was "not considering running" to replace former Rep. Nita Lowey in a separate New York congressional district in 2020.
In recent years, Clinton – once an NBC correspondent in the same vein as fellow former first kid Jenna Bush Hager – has instead focused on global health advocacy and authoring books, with and without her mom.
Meanwhile, Schlossberg – the only grandson of former President John F. Kennedy – is considering a run in the 12th congressional district which includes parts of New York City.
