WASHINGTON (AP)-
With the impeachment trial
over, first lady Hillary Rodham
Clinton will give serious
thought to running for the Sen-ate
from New York next year,
senior White House officials
said Sunday. Democrats
and Republicans alike pre-dicted
a terrific race if she
steps in.
A number of people
"have been really urging
her to run. and 1 think she
wants to hear them out."
White House Chief of Staff
John Podesta said on
ABC's This Week."
"There are a lot of people
in New York w ho think she
would be a great senator
and are very excited about
the prospect that she would
represent them." added
White House communica-tions
director Ann Lewis
on CNN's "Laic Edition."
"1 do think she would win." she
said.
Talk has been circulating for
several months of prospects
that Mrs. Clinton would run for
the seat to be vacated when
Democratic Sen. Daniel
Patrick Moynihan leaves the
Senate in 20(H) after 24 years
in office.
Moynihan. interviewed on
NBC's "Meet the Press." said
"she'd be welcome and she'd
win."
He said New York could
probably use some of her
"magnificent, young, bright,
able. Illinois-Arkansas enthu-siasm."
"She's going to be very de-
Clinton
liberative about this. This is
going to be a major life
change." said Democratic Sen.
Frank Lautenberg from neigh-boring
New Jersey, adding, "I
think she would be one terrific
candidate."
"It would be an incredible
race." said Sen. John McCain.
R-Ariz.. of a possible matchup
with New York's Republican
Mayor Rudy Giuliani. "One
thing I know about Rudy
Giuliani, he'll tangle with any-body."
he said on NBC.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky..
who is in charge of
money-raising for GOP sena-torial
campaigns, said on CNN
that Mrs. Clinton's entry into
a race against Giuliani
"would make this a titanic
struggle of two very popular
figures."
Mrs. Clinton is expected to
be very much in the public
eye now that the impeach-ment
trial is over. She is go-ing
to travel around the coun-try
promoting her husband's
Social Security and Medi-care
proposals, make another
"spring break" mission over-seas,
probably w ith daughter
Chelsea, and take her
"America's treasures" tour
to the West to promote his-toric
preservation.
Newsweek, in its edition
appearing on newsstands
Monday, said that during the
impeachment trial. Mrs.
Clinton played an active role
in her husband's defense, al-though
she did not attend staff
meetings.
It said her focus was on con-stitutional
issues and it was her
idea to bring constitutional
scholars before the House Ju-diciarv
Committee.
