Establishment figures within the US Democrat Party have been preparing to draft Chelsea Clinton for a future run for political office. Many commentators have pointed to Mrs Clinton's increased political presence on Twitter in recent months as evidence of her involvement. The 37-year-old daughter of the failed presidential candidate Hilary and the former President Bill has been posting dozens of anti-Trump tweets this year amid the growing political rumours.

However, critics have largely mocked the rumours and asked: "When will the Clintons get the message?" According to sources, the Clinton daughter has been put forward to run for Rep. Nita Lowey's House seat when the 79-year-old Democrat chooses to retire. Others have named her as a possible successor for Kirsten Gillibrand if the New York Senator runs for president in 2020. Mrs Clinton herself has not confirmed nor denied the plans for political office.

Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons said while the Clintons are "always thinking about campaigns and elections," the Democratic Party needed to look for fresh leaders. He added: “It’s time to look forward.” Meghan McCain, the outspoken daughter of Senator John McCain, laid into the latest news of Clinton political ambition during an interview on Fox News. When asked about the rumours, she said: “What fresh hell am I living in where I am going to have to sit through Chelsea Clinton running for office? “What do I have to do to make the Clintons stop running for office? We don't like you!” Mrs McCain added: "The media gives this grown woman with two children a pass every single time. "She's been given a free pass for her entire career and entire life! What does she stand for?"
