Hillary Clinton Steps Back From Front-Line Politics
Our thoughts and prayers are with Hillary Clinton during these difficult times. Her recent announcement has left many stunned and deeply moved.
Under the lights of a packed New York City auditorium, Hillary Rodham Clinton confirmed the end of an era. “This isn’t easy… but it’s time,” she said, revealing her decision to step back from front-line politics after nearly five decades of public service.
Clinton’s career has been historic: from First Lady of Arkansas and First Lady of the United States, to U.S. Senator, Secretary of State, and the first woman to win a major party’s presidential nomination. Her journey reflects the evolution of American politics — marked by resilience, reform, and a relentless pursuit of equality.
On October 1, 2025, at Columbia University’s Claire McCarthy Auditorium, she announced her transition from active politics to advocacy. “It’s not a goodbye,” she stated. “It’s a redirection.” Her new focus: mentoring young leaders and advancing causes she has long championed.
