Washington (CNN) Hillary Clinton said Monday that she is not running for president in 2020 but will continue to speak out about politics, saying, "I'm not going anywhere."

"I'm not running, but I'm going to keep on working and speaking and standing up for what I believe," the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee told CNN affiliate News 12 Westchester

"I want to be sure that people understand I'm going to keep speaking out. I'm not going anywhere," Clinton said.
