Former secretary of state’s comments follow attack on Democratic presidential frontrunner Bernie Sanders
Hillary Clinton has said she would consider becoming vice-president in a future Democratic White House.
The former first lady and secretary of state, who lost the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump, told Ellen DeGeneres she would “never say never”, but insisted the invitation would not arrive.
“I never say never, because I believe in serving my country,” she said on DeGeneres’ chat show on Wednesday. “But it’s not going to happen.”
Ms Clinton also hailed Mitt Romney for becoming the only Republican senator to vote to convict Mr Trump at the conclusion of the president’s impeachment trial.
