Chelsea Clinton won’t be following in her parents’ political footsteps just yet.

Ms. Clinton , the daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton , said on Wednesday that she was not running for Congress next year, ending brief but intense speculation that she would seek to extend her family’s political dynasty.

In an interview on “The View,” Ms. Clinton said she was “not considering” a bid to replace Representative Nita Lowey of New York, a fellow Democrat who said last week that she would not seek re-election in 2020.

Ms. Clinton, the daughter of a president and a United States senator, had never explicitly expressed interest in the seat, but she said in an interview last year that she would weigh running for office “if someone were to step down or retire.” After Ms. Lowey’s announcement, the idea of Ms. Clinton entering the race seemed a viable possibility, because Ms. Lowey represents much of Westchester and Rockland Counties, north of New York City, where Ms. Clinton’s parents live and where the Clintons remain popular .

Ms. Clinton herself does not live in the district, but under United States Constitution, members of Congress must live only in the state they represent, not the specific district.
