Hillary Clinton received a warm welcome during her book tour stop in Hartford, where she was introduced by Governor Ned Lamont and interviewed by Senator Chris Murphy. Her book, “Something Lost, Something Gained,” delves into her thoughts on Trump, Russia, and Ukraine, highlighting her concerns over the authoritarian tendencies of the former president.
Clinton’s audience included fans, retirees, and even Republicans who could not support Trump in 2016. She emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, a topic that Murphy and Clinton discussed at length during the event.
The former Secretary of State also shared stories from her time directly aiding women in Afghanistan following the U.S. withdrawal and Taliban takeover. Murphy praised the book for its thrilling depictions of Clinton’s experiences in foreign policy and women’s issues.
Clinton expressed her support for Kamala Harris and urged attendees to volunteer in key swing states in preparation for the upcoming election. Despite winning the popular vote in 2016, she acknowledged her disdain for the electoral college system but recognized the challenges of abolishing it.
While some critics found her book to be heavy on politics and light on personal reflections, Clinton’s supporters in Hartford viewed her event as a rally rather than a mere book talk. The audience roared with applause and laughter throughout the evening, demonstrating their enduring support for the former presidential candidate.
