Hillary Clinton officially announced Monday her post-2016 election plans: A political organization aimed at funding “resistance” groups that are standing up to President Donald Trump.
Clinton tweeted that she was launching “Onward Together to encourage people to get involved, organize, and even run for office.”
The group also included a website, which described the group’s goal as looking to “advance progressive values and work to build a brighter future for generations to come.”
Onward Together also temporarily answers a key question for Clinton: What will you do next?
Clinton, a two-time failed presidential candidate who maintains a strong following among Democrats, has told friends that she is unlikely to ever go back to The Clinton Foundation, her family foundation that came under great scrutiny during the 2016 election. And while she has been approached by top colleges about using them as a venue for future advocacy, people close to her said she was unlikely to take that route.
Aides and advisers also say she is not going to run for president again, but doesn’t want to be silent in the coming years.
This group, therefore, is Clinton’s way to boost Democrats while subtly needling Trump.
“The challenges we face as a country are real,” Clinton wrote in her email. “But there’s no telling what we can achieve if we approach the fights ahead with the passion and determination we feel today, and bring that energy into 2017, 2018, 2020, and beyond.”
