Hillary Clinton

Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton is an American politician, diplomat, and former lawyer who served as President Barack Obama's 67th Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013, as a United States Senator from New York from 2001 to 2009, and as First Lady of the United States as President Bill Clinton's wife from 1993 to 2001. She was the Democratic Party's presidential nominee in the 2016 election, becoming the first woman to earn a presidential nomination by a major U.S. political party; Clinton won the popular vote but lost the Electoral College vote, losing the election to Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton was one of the most divisive people in contemporary politics, but she was also one of the most innovative. She was President Bill Clinton's wife and had a significant role in his administration (1993–2001). Bill famously stated that the president was a "twofer" (two for the price of one), and Hillary had her own office in the West Wing, an unusual step. She was elected senator of New York in 2000, making her the first first lady to hold electoral office. Clinton served as Barack Obama's secretary of state after losing the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. She ran for president again in 2016, becoming the first woman to win a major political party's presidential nomination. Following her loss, she wrote her third memoir, What Happened, and launched Onward Together, a political action organization dedicated to fundraising for progressive political groups.
