Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, may be poised to enter the White House if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the upcoming November election. According to a report from the New York Post, Clinton is eyeing the role of ambassador to the United Kingdom in a potential Harris administration.
“Chelsea really wants to be the ambassador to the U.K.,” a source close to the matter told the New York Post. “There’s a reason why Bill and Hillary came out in the first five minutes to support Kamala’s presidential bid: They were currying favor.”
The source indicated that both Bill and Hillary Clinton have been planning to push for Chelsea to obtain an official ambassadorship position for some time. Another insider, however, suggested that the U.K. ambassadorship might be too significant a role for someone as inexperienced as Chelsea Clinton. “I can well imagine that the U.K. ambassadorship is an aspiration for Chelsea, although she is a bit junior still — and London usually goes to a massive donor or fundraiser,” the source said. “It is, of course, fantasy land.”
Despite this, a Chelsea Clinton appointment wouldn’t be completely out of the blue, given her involvement with the Harris campaign. Clinton previously appeared on the “Women for Harris” Zoom call, one of many identity-based Zoom calls featuring high-profile supporters of Harris, as reported by the Washington Examiner.
“Unlike 2016, Donald Trump is not theoretical,” Clinton said during the call. “We now have a record that we can hold him to account for, and we have an extraordinary candidate in Vice President Harris.”
Clinton added, “Shirley Chisholm put a big crack in that glass ceiling. My mom put a few more cracks in that glass ceiling, and Vice President Harris is going to obliterate that glass ceiling.”
The prominent members of the Clinton family have also given Harris their endorsement. Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton were among the first to endorse Harris once President Joe Biden exited the 2024 race.
“We are honored to join the president in endorsing Vice President Harris and will do whatever we can to support her,” a statement from the two read. “Now is the time to support Kamala Harris and fight with everything we’ve got to elect her. America’s future depends on it.”
