She was speaking at an event hosted by the charitable group run by Mexican telecom magnate Carlos Slim, one of the richest men in the world. Slim has been a donor to the Clinton Foundation. Clinton made an unsuccessful attempt for the Democratic nomination in 2008, losing to Barack Obama. \[[_Reuters_](http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/clinton-make-decision-presidential-run-early-january)\] ## Transcript Is Hilary running? Her closest aides say she hasn't decided yet and won't for some time. But if she does, she has several campaign themes to choose from, all of which she set up in speeches and public appearances over the past few months, like here where she touched on economic inequality. >> Try to reverse this tide of inequality that is eating away at the social fabric. >> A focus on wealth disparity would make for a pretty seamless transition from the last democratic campaign. The issue was at the center of President Obama's 2012 effort. Clinton might also build on her work with family and social issues. Last summer, she helped launched Too Small To Fail, a nonprofit focusing on early childhood education. >> Our country's future depends on healthy kids and loving families. >> Though perhaps the easiest target for any 2016 candidate including Clinton will be dysfunction and increasingly partisan battles in Congress and surprisingly she's got a lot to say about that. >> We need to have a sensible adult conversation about what is necessary to be done. >> Of course since departing as Secretary of State it's not uncommon for Clinton to reference her experience as the nation's top diplomat. You can be sure any campaign from her will make mention of that. And it might be hard to believe for someone who's been a prominent part of American politics for so long, but Clinton also has the Washington outsider card to choose from and she's pulled it on the stump before as recently as last October. >> Recently in Washington, unfortunately, we have seen examples of the wrong kind of leadership, when politicians choose scourged earth over common ground. >> That is campaign rhetoric and it's exactly the kind of thing we could hear more of from Clinton if she chooses the campaign trail. For Time, I'm Christian Bryant. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3274766/hillary-clinton-2016-presidential-race/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3274766/hillary-clinton-2016-presidential-race/"},"headline":"Clinton Says She'll Decide on White House Run Next Year","datePublished":"2014-09-05T19:08:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:41:25.823Z","description":"The possible presidential contender is heavily favored to win the Democratic nod if she runs","url":"https://time.com/3274766/hillary-clinton-2016-presidential-race/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt669abc4fdb73d452/6986a238e53aba02334d4494/ap907704281890.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Denver Nicks","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/denver-nicks/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt669abc4fdb73d452/6986a238e53aba02334d4494/ap907704281890.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hillary Clinton","caption":"Hillary Clinton","creditText":"Dario Lopez-Mills—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3274766/hillary-clinton-2016-presidential-race/","name":"Clinton Says She'll Decide on White House Run Next Year"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Campaign Themes Hillary Clinton Is Test Driving","description":"Because you never know","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/1xvVf2Wa/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-01-16T21:35:49.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/1xvVf2Wa.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3274766/hillary-clinton-2016-presidential-race/","duration":"PT1M54S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3274766/hillary-clinton-2016-presidential-race/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
