Former University of Miami president Donna Shalala “might be eying a bid for Florida’s 27th Congressional District, where nine Democrats are scrapping to succeed retiring Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in a seat that Hillary Clinton almost won by almost 20 points,” Politico reports.
“If Shalala runs, she’s a likely frontrunner who could clear some of the field.”
“Donna Shalala, a former Clinton administration cabinet secretary, will take over as head of the Clinton Foundation at a moment when the charity’s fundraising practices have created political turbulence for Hillary Clinton ’s emerging presidential campaign,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The move means two seasoned veterans of Bill Clinton ’s administration will likely play powerful roles in the family’s future. John Podesta, who served as White House chief of staff in Mr. Clinton’s second term, is expected to become chairman of Hillary Clinton’s likely presidential campaign.”
