Hillary Clinton calls the Women’s March ‘awe-inspiring’
One day after attending Donald Trump’s inauguration, Hillary Clinton thanked the millions of women who participated in the Women’s March in protest of his presidency.
“Thanks for standing, speaking & marching for our values @womensmarch,” Clinton tweeted Saturday. “Important as ever. I truly believe we’re always Stronger Together.”

Clinton, who has kept a relatively low public profile since her stunning loss to Trump in the November election, tweeted several messages in support of the demonstrations over the weekend.
'Hope Not Fear'
Indeed.

“@MichaelNutter got a lot of great points into 140 characters here,” Clinton tweeted. “We have to keep the momentum.”
Clinton herself is slowly plotting how to reclaim hers.
According to Politico, the 2016 Democratic nominee — who is “still recovering” from her defeat — has “told some associates she’s looking at a spring timeline for mapping out some of her next political steps.”
More from Politico’s report:
There have been no conversations about starting her own political group but Clinton has spoken with leaders of emerging Democratic-leaning organizations about their work, and has discussed possible opportunities to work with Organizing For Action, former President Barack Obama’s initiative. Among the potential political priorities she has mentioned to associates are building pipelines for young party leaders to rise and ensuring that a reconstructed Democratic National Committee functions as an effective hub that works seamlessly with other party campaign wings.
Clinton has also “been in contact with a range of ex-aides, studying presentations as she tries to better understand the forces behind her shocking November defeat.”
“She understands that a forensic exam of the campaign is necessary, not only for her, but for the party … and for the investors in the campaign,” a “close friend” of Clinton’s told Politico. “People want to know that their investment was treated with respect, but that their mistakes wouldn’t be repeated.”
