Hillary Clinton has sparked speculation she’s set to run for President in 2028.
RadarOnline.com can reveal rumors were born from a recently announced speaking event which will see Clinton appear alongside husband and ex-President, Bill, 78.
Fans believe Clinton will launch her White House run at a speaking event.
The event — the 20th anniversary of the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansa — is planned for the afternoon on December 7 and will include speeches from the powerful couple regarding their past political and philanthropic work.
A press release announcing the event stated: "The Clintons will share reflections on the noble and important work of public service – from securing peace, prosperity, and progress during the Clinton administration to uplifting millions of people through the work of the Clinton Foundation."
Clinton will be 81 if she runs for office in four years.
Online theories began swirling shortly after the announcement was made about whether it could serve as a launching point for Clinton's future political ambitions.
"SHE'S RUNNING!" Jason Miller, a senior advisor to Donald Trump, wrote on X with a link to a story highlighting the event.
Responding to the influential advisor's post, many X users expressed both dismay and excitement at the prospect that Clinton, 77, may run in 2028.
"Please… PLEASE run," conservative commentator Kevin Smith replied.
"Please God let it be so," another user posted.
Bill Clinton will appear alongside Hillary at a major event next month.
Others were horrified Clinton could run again at 81 years old.
"At 81, I don't think so," one X user wrote.

For her part, Hillary has said she does not plan on running for president ever again.

Clinton's supporters are desperate for her to run for president after Trump's victory.
Curiosity over Clinton's potential 2028 bid comes just after it was reported Vice President Kamala Harris, 60, has told close aides she wants to keep her political options open.
Those options include running again for president in 2028 or running for governor in her home state California in 2026.

A top aide close to Harris disclosed the Vice President has time to make up her mind.
