Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Talk Working Together On 'Gutsy' & If Chelsea Will Run For Office

Hillary and Chelsea got candid about their collaboration in an interview with Variety.

Interestingly, one of the challenges they faced working on Gutsy stemmed from different work preferences.

“Some of it was generational — my mom still writes longhand, and I am in the 21st century and use a computer,” Chelsea explained. “She has a very old iPhone, so sometimes her iPhone wasn’t compatible with the apps I wanted to use.”

Chelsea also revealed that she isn’t planning on running for office. There was one caveat to that claim, though.

“The answer now is ‘Not now.’ But I don’t want to say, ‘Not ever,’ because I do think it’s an important question for any of us who care about our country,” she explained.

In turn, Hillary responded to a recent comment from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who expressed doubts that a woman would ever be president. The former first lady disagreed with the sentiment.

“No, I don’t agree with that,” she said. “I do agree it’s really hard. I agree that the double standard is alive and well. And so therefore any woman in politics or any walk of life faces challenges that men who are equivalent in experience don’t face. I believe that I came so close, I got more votes, unprecedented things happened to me — we all learned a lot from that campaign. I do think it’s possible. I do think it’s hard. There’s a line from one of my favorite movies, A League of Their Own: ‘If it wasn’t hard, anybody could do it.’”

“I would also add that there is a feeling of increasing pushback to women’s ambitions and roles. We see it obviously with the Supreme Court, but social media has enhanced misogyny and sexism. It’s hurtful, because it becomes part of the ecosystem,” she added. “There are a lot of good points that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez made in the article that I do agree with, but I think we will get there. But everybody needs to go after that goal with clear eyes and understanding how hard it is.”
