Washington, Oct. 26: Hillary Clinton has indicated that she could remain President Barack Obama’s Secretary of State longer than expected.

“A lot of people have talked to me about staying,” Clinton said during an interview with the Wall Street Journal.

According to the Huffington Post, when asked if current events will force her departure date to slip, she said it was ‘unlikely’, but for the first time left open that possibility for the short term.

Clinton has previously said that she plans to step down from her position in the Obama administration after the president’s first term even if he wins re-election, the report said.

Clinton reiterated in the interview that she does not plan to mount a bid for the White House in 2016, it added. (ANI)
