FILE - First lady Hillary meets reporters in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington on April 22, 1994. In a conciliatory appearance before the press, Clinton blamed her own efforts to protect her privacy for allowing questions about the Whitewater land deal to spiral. During her husband’s 1992 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton observed that “our lives are a mixture of different roles” and said most people are trying to find the right balance.
Twice she sought the ultimate White House perch, campaigning in 2008 and again in 2016 to become the first woman elected president. She fell short each time, and kept her distance from the White House during the Trump years. In his first year in office, President Clinton stood with his wife in the East Room and made her head of a national health care task force to bringto every American. No first lady had ever been responsible for shaping such major public policy. The work, largely done in secret, inevitably attracted criticism. The plan ultimately died without a vote in Congress.
Hillary Clinton also was among those in the Roosevelt Room at the White House when the president declared to the nation that “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” She went on national television and blamed their political problems on a “vast, right-wing conspiracy.”
