It’s the question on everyone’s lips – is she running for president? But Hillary Rodham Clinton continues to keep her plans for the future a mystery.

During an appearance on The Daily Show, the 66-year-old was asked a series of hilarious questions by Jon Stewart, yet the former US Secretary of State and First Lady failed to address the rumours with a straight answer.

Instead, she hinted at the possibility of being a presidential candidate.

The talk show host joked to Clinton that people weren’t interested in book, Hard Choices.  “I think I speak for everybody when I say, no one cares, they just want to know if you’re running for president,” he said.

Stewart then asked her about her dream office: “Do you have a favourite shape?” He then asked: “Would you like it to have corners?”

Clinton replied: “I think that the world is so complicated, the fewer corners that you can have, the better.”

One thing is for sure, if the political powerhouse does decide to run for office, there’s no doubt she has plenty of support from some famous figures and friends.
