Big news has dropped about Chelsea Clinton and her potential aspiration to work with Vice President Kamala Harris.
A source close to the Clinton family revealed that Chelsea has set her sights on becoming the ambassador to the UK, a position currently held by businesswoman Jane Hartley since 2022. The Clintons were among the first to support Harris’s presidential bid, which many speculate was a strategic move to secure an ambassadorship. According to our source, this idea has been in the works for some time.
Chelsea Clinton, the vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, is well-versed in both politics and philanthropy. She’s also said to be fond of France, adding to her list of potential ambassadorial aspirations. Despite her credentials, some believe the UK ambassadorship may be a bit ambitious, given its typical allotment to seasoned donors or fundraisers.
At 44, she’s expressed interest in an ambassadorship for quite some time. Other countries have also been mentioned as potential opportunities for her.
Ambassadorships often go to high-profile individuals whose fame can attract attention to the countries they represent. Chelsea certainly has an edge in this regard, being the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Interestingly, she has a strong connection to the UK, having earned both a Master’s and a Doctorate degree from Oxford University, echoing her father’s path.
Those close to her say that she’s always desired to spend more time abroad and build a solid reputation. In many ways, her aspirations mirror those of Caroline Kennedy, the current ambassador to Australia, who served previously in Japan. It seems that ambassadorship is a logical progression for Chelsea, who is keen on carving out her own legacy.
However, this ambition has been met with some resistance. A longtime associate of the Clintons denied that they endorsed Harris for any other reason than to defeat Donald Trump, while a representative for Chelsea dismissed the rumors outright.
The competition for these ambassador roles is fierce, particularly in countries like England and France.
However, this is how political careers start: next thing you know, she’s running for governor somewhere.
