On [CBS This Morning](https://twitter.com/CBSThisMorning/status/849243661401456640 "undefined") Tuesday, Chelsea maintained that her mom is doing “great” since her election loss back in November. She said her mom is looking for ways to get involved outside public office, including what she can do to help support organizations like [Planned Parenthood](http://motto.time.com/4696903/planned-parenthood-gop-healthcare-bill/ "undefined"). But when it comes to running for president, Chelsea doesn’t think Hillary will do so again. “She’s focused on what she can do help support work she’s been engaged in for longer than I’ve been alive around children, around women, around families,” Chelsea added. “I’m just really grateful to have more time with her now than I’ve had in a long time.” Chelsea herself insisted she is not considering running for office, either, despite persistent rumors, according to [Politico.](http://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/will-hillary-clinton-run-again-chelsea-clinton-236857 "undefined") “I clearly don’t agree with our president, but I’m definitely not the right person to run to defeat him in 2020,” Chelsea said. “So right now, the answer is no. But I think we all need to be asking ourselves that question periodically.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4724809/chelsea-clinton-hillary-clinton-cbs/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4724809/chelsea-clinton-hillary-clinton-cbs/"},"headline":"Chelsea Clinton Opens up about Her Mom's Chances of Running for President Again","datePublished":"2017-04-04T16:01:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T04:11:44.742Z","description":"She addresses rumors about her one day running for office, too","url":"https://time.com/4724809/chelsea-clinton-hillary-clinton-cbs/","keywords":["Hillary Clinton","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltea3330685a2454ed/6987eb7da988caec586b0390/clinton.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Aric Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/aric-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltea3330685a2454ed/6987eb7da988caec586b0390/clinton.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"President Obama Speaks At The Annual Clinton Global Initiative","caption":"President Obama Speaks At The Annual Clinton Global Initiative","creditText":"Spencer Platt—Getty Images","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":"https://time.com/4724809/chelsea-clinton-hillary-clinton-cbs/","name":"Chelsea Clinton Opens up about Her Mom's Chances of Running for President Again"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Hillary Clinton Warns President Trump of 'Grave Mistake' on Foreign Aid","description":"Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that she thinks President Trump is making a \"grave mistake\" on foreign aid.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/xtR7y2pa/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-03-31T16:05:10.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/xtR7y2pa.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4724809/chelsea-clinton-hillary-clinton-cbs/","duration":"PT59S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4724809/chelsea-clinton-hillary-clinton-cbs/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
