‘Hillary for Mayor’ Posters around New York City hint Clinton may RETURN to politics – Express.co.uk

Public spaces across the city have been plastered with posters that read: Hillary for Mayor promising the start of a possible election campaign for the former First Lady.

Supporting her possible comeback, a Quinnipiac University poll said Hillary Clinton could beat the current Democrat mayor Bill de Blasio when New Yorkers vote again again in November.

TWITTER/GETTY

Mr de Blasios campaign is reportedly spiralling out of control because of his inability to control the homelessness crisis, which has caused public and political furore.

Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll told the US news-site: New Yorkers aren't in love with Mayor Bill de Blasio, but they seem to like him better than other possible choices - except Hillary Clinton, who probably is an impossible choice.

"None of the possible contenders has made any real noise or spent any money, so this race still could get interesting."

Recent figures suggested that Clinton would beat de Blasio 49 to 30 per cent and polling suggest she leads among male, female, black, white and hispanic voters.

The signs of the 69-year-olds return to politics have emerged days after French voters begged the former US President Barack Obama join their countrys elections.

Last week, a group of Parisians launched a petition dubbed Obama 17 which aims to collect one million votes for Obamas return to politics.

The petition urged voters to make a radical choice and choose the former President because he is foreign.

Clinton's predicted victory in the mayoral race would follow recent bad news that Arkansas largest airport named after her and her husband, former President Bill Clinton could have its name changed.

Express.co.uk have contacted Clinton's campaign team for comment.

American Horror Story Season 7 Will Portray Hillary Clinton & Donald Trump – Konbini US

At first, it's always exciting when they announce a new season ofAmerican Horror Story. What will the next theme of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's psycho-sexual-horror show be?

After the haunted house, the asylum, the coven, the freak show, the hotel and then reality TV, it was anybody's guess what the next season would be about. And we all know how the showrunners love to keep it a secret until the very last moment.

But for the seventh season, it didn't take much begging to get Ryan Murphy to dish on the new theme: the American presidential election. Murphy shared the news on the showWatch What Happens Live!after a few martinis.

Or at least that's what he admitted later, clarifying his surprising lapse.Either way, it's official:American Horror StorySeason 7 will discuss the 2016 election, but no, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton won't actually be in it.

We're not sure how many martinis he had this time, but Ryan Murphy just admitted toE! Onlinethat the two candidates will be played by actors. He also specified that the season won't be totally focused on them.

"I think people literally think Sarah Paulson is playing Hillary Clinton, and I wanted to clarify that that is not true. Horror Story is always about allegory, so the election is allegory.

It's our jumping off point. It is about the election we just went through and what happened on that night and the fallout of that night, which to many people, from all sides of the camps is a horror story."

Ryan Murphy added that the plot for this season will begin on the night of Trump's victory, when the results are in. Even though he hasn't cast Trump's and Clinton's avatars yet, we do know that Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters will be part of the cast.

American Horror Storycomes back this fall, but the release date hasn't been announced yet.

Hillary Clinton to speak in Houston in April

Hillary Clinton is coming to Texas for one of her first political appearances since her devastating defeat in the presidential election last year.

Clinton is set to speak at a luncheon on April 7 in Houston for Annie's List, a group that works to elect Democratic women in Texas. Annie's List announced Clinton as a speaker Wednesday night.

The luncheon will honor Amber Mostyn, a top Democratic donor who has long been involved with Annie's List, and "distinguished guests working to turn Texas blue," according to an invitation.

Clinton has kept a low profile since losing to Donald Trump on Nov. 8. She made her first public appearance since the election about a week later, when she spoke at a charity event in Washington, D.C.

Arkansas lawmaker wants to remove Clinton name from airport – RT

The Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock could be renamed if an Arkansas state senators bill becomes law.

On Wednesday, the State Senate held a hearing on SB 430, a bill proposed by State Senator Jason Rapert (R-Maynard) that would forbid any state airports built with public funds from being named after a living person.

Although the bill does not specifically mention the Clintons, the most prominent airport that would be affected by the legislation is the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport, which is Arkansass largest commercial service airport with two million passengers a year. If passed, the bill would require the airport to be renamed by January 1, 2018.

Rapert says the bill was written in response to a Twitter poll he conducted, asking his followers if they would support a bill removing the names Bill & Hillary Clinton from the Little Rock Airport? Rapert tweeted. Arkansas does not support them.

Rapert also said that he received complaints from pilots and constituents who did not think that Arkansas should honor a former president who was impeached in 1998 for lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice over an affair with a White House intern. Clinton was acquitted of those charges in a Senate trial the next year.

You have a president who was impeached for having an affair with an intern in the Oval Office and then disbarred, Rapert told Reuters.

"Frankly, Bill Clinton is a very similar story to Bill Cosby, Rapert said, according to KTBS. Bill Cosby has paid a tremendous price for what we now know he did, taking advantage of women all over the country. Why is Bill Clinton not having to pay the same price?"

The airport was originally named Adams Field, after Arkansas National Guard Captain George Geyer Adams, a Little Rock councilman who was killed in the line of duty in 1937. The name was later changed in 2012, when Democrats controlled the state legislature and the governors office.

Rapert says Little Rock's Airport Commission unanimously voted to rename the airport when, political friends of the Clintons decided to strip Adams of the honor, according to the Associated Press.

Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola (D) says the city will fight the bill.

"Where does he get off thinking that's a negative? Stodola told the Arkansas Times. We've had billions of dollars of benefit from of the Clinton Presidential Library. That name hasn't hurt our city nor has the name of the airport."

Governor Asa Hutchinson (R), who helped prosecute the impeachment case against former President Clinton, said the decision to rename the airport should remain with the owners.

"I respect that decision, and I do not think that the legislative body should interfere with that," Hutchinson told reporters, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

Rapert has also recently proposed legislation that would amend the Constitution by defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman, as well as a bill that would prohibit a person from smoking medical marijuana "in any location in Arkansas."
