is trying to figure out her next chapter — and it might start with a think tank.

The idea of starting a policy institute — a common move for former politicians — has raised eyebrows even within her own camp. Allies warn that fundraising for such a center could expose her to political headaches down the line, especially if she chooses to run for Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, governor in 2026 or take another shot at the White House in 2028.

She also addressed Democratic activists in Wisconsin by Zoom ahead of that state's Supreme Court election, but local operatives declined her offer to visit in person, fearing it could become a distraction.
