Former 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton believes she would have handled the coronavirus pandemic better than President Trump, and that she would win if she were on the ballot in November.
“We could not have stopped the pandemic at our borders in the way that Trump initially claimed, but surely we could have done a better job saving lives, modeling better and more responsible behavior,” he said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“I don’t think we necessarily should have had as deep an economic assault on livelihoods and work as we have,” he said. “So I know I would have done a better job.”
The former secretary of state lost to Trump in 2016, but the dispute between the two has dragged on last election day. Trump regularly mentions and attacks his former rival, while Clinton has published a book and regularly talks about his election-related complaints and how Trump has handled his time in the White House.
In particular, it has fueled the conversation about how he believes “disinformation”, particularly from Russians, influenced the outcome of the elections. It was a subject to which he returned in the interview where he said that Facebook needed to be responsible for the role it played.
“Facebook has to be held accountable because they trafficked with conspiracy, trafficked with misinformation, trafficked with Russian disinformation, and they have to account because we are going to have another election, and everyone should know what is at stake and then cast their vote accordingly” , said.
When asked if he thinks the Russians influenced vote counts, he said, “There are still many unanswered questions about what they were doing probing the registration bases and what they were doing probing the electoral systems.”

“So far, that has not materialized,” he said. “But the influence certainly has.”
She went on to say that while it is not in the letters for her to run for president again, she believes she would defeat him in November if she were on the ballot.
“Yes,” she said. “But I think people think this is a referendum on him.”
