Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday that she has no plans to run for office again, but she plans to remain involved in civic life, particularly helping the Democrats' efforts to regain control of the House in 2018.

I'm not going anywhere, Clinton said at the annual Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes. I have a big stake in what happens in this country. I am very unbowed and unbroken about what happened because I dont want it to happen to anybody else. I don't want it to happen to the values and the institutions I care about in America.

And I think were at a really pivotal point, she said. And therefore I'm going to keep writing and keep talking and keep supporting people who are on the front lines of the resistance."

The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee said she woke up on election day expecting to win. Clinton told the gathering that she was responsible for every decision the campaign made, though she did not believe they caused her surprise loss. She attributed thatto several things, including allegedRussian interference in the election and weaponizing stolen information and fake news. She also pointed a finger atthe Democrats for falling behind the GOP in using technology and data to target voters, the media for covering her e-mail controversy "like it was Pearl Harbor,"misogyny and the high expectations many had for her candidacy.

I was the victim of a very broad assumption I was going to win, she said, adding that she always expected the race to be close.

Trump responded on Twitter, saying that Clinton still refused to accept that she lost because she was a "terrible candidate."

Clinton,who has increasinglyjabbedPresidentTrump, including at last weeks commencement address at Wellesley College,blasted his reported plan to pull out of the Paris climate accord as really stupid because of the economic implications. She described his personality as impulsive and reactive.

And she joked about his peculiar overnight tweet about constant negative press covfefe, saying she thought it was a hidden message to the Russians to laughter from the audience.

Going forward, Clinton said that she believes that it was realistic for Democrats to retake the House in 2018, notably by focusing on Republican congressional districts she won including seven in California. She sounded less optimistic about the Senate.
