After her loss of the 2016 United States presidential election, Hillary Clinton retired from electoral politics and has since engaged in a number of activities.
[23] In mid-2018, it was announced that Clinton was slated to serve as an executive producer of a drama series to be created with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television.
Other producers include Jill Furman, Rachel Sussman, and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai.
Commenting on taking up the position, she said that "the university is making waves internationally for its research and impact and I am proud to be an ambassador and help grow its reputation for excellence".
[33] Clinton resumed her professorial career in September 2023, teaching at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs as a professor of foreign policy.
[39] In May 2017, Clinton announced the formation of Onward Together, a new political action committee that she wrote is "dedicated to advancing the progressive vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election".
[42] In response to the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack, Clinton said the U.S. should take out Bashar al-Assad's airfields and thereby "prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and drop sarin gas on them".
"[49] While delivering the commencement speech at her alma mater Wellesley College on May 26, Clinton asserted President Trump's 2018 budget proposal was "a con" for underfunding domestic programs.
While recognizing that she had indeed lost to Trump, she said that she considered him "illegitimate" because she asserted that his election victory had been assisted by voting restrictions in certain states and Russian influence efforts.
[54] In a May 2021 interview with The Guardian, Clinton called for a "global reckoning" with disinformation, and for the accountability of major social media platforms such as Facebook.
[55] In their respective roles as a former president and a former first lady, Bill and Hillary Clinton attended the inauguration of Donald Trump with their daughter, Chelsea.
The morning of the inauguration Clinton wrote on her Twitter account, "I'm here today to honor our democracy & its enduring values, I will never stop believing in our country & its future.
[57] In October 2018, Hillary and Bill Clinton announced plans for a 13-city speaking tour in various cities in the United States and Canada between November 2018 and May 2019.
