Hey, good morning, playbookers. I'm Raguamun Ovalin. It's Friday. We're looking at what's next

for voting rights and maybe what's next for the Democratic Party. This is your Politico Playbook

Daily briefing. Just before 10 p.m. Thursday night, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer ditched plans to keep the Senate in town through the weekend in order to meet an MLK day deadline to pass voting rights legislation.

He cited an unexpected snowstorm in D.C. on Sunday and Monday. The Senate will return Tuesday to take up voting rights and a potential rules change.

You might have heard some familiar names in the news lately.

Former President Bill Clinton made an attempt to reach out to Joe Mention to sway his opinion on voting rights legislation.

Polster Doug Shone had an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal,

outlining the case for a potential Hillary Clinton presidential run.

Here to explain the buzz she's hearing about it all is playbooks Tara Paul Mary. Thanks for coming on. Thanks so much for having me. Here's a sentence I didn't think I'd be saying anytime soon.

Kirsten Cinema, suggesting policy ideas on BBB to bring it back alive and voting rights.

And then, you know, you have this story about, sorry, you have this story that was floated about Hillary Clinton possibly running in 2024.

While my source say that's not true, they don't necessarily think it's a bad thing to float her name because she is keen to get involved in

public life again. And, you know, they are sort of, they've been pariahs for a long time. And

this is an opportunity for them to sort of test the waters, you could say. Right. And I mean,

what do you do after the presidency, right? I mean, you see Trump getting on any show he possibly can. Barack Obama had that op-ed recently. It kind of almost makes sense that they feel like, all right, now's our time to kind of jump back in.
