In a new NPR interview on the Wild Card with Rachel Martin podcast, she declared that she is done with campaigning and will not give another political speech or hit the campaign trail for any candidate. The former first lady told NPR, I am not going to be in politics. I am not giving another political speech. I am not campaigning for another candidate.
