If Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016, Bill is all for it.
The former president said Monday he would fully support his wife if she decided to make a run for the White House in four years.
"If she changes her mind and decides to run, I'll be happy," he said on ABC's "Good Morning America."
"It's entirely up to her ... I believe that she's being absolutely honest with you when she says she doesn't think she'll go back into politics," he said.
"But if she comes home and we do this foundation stuff for the rest of our lives, I'll be happy; if she changes her mind and decides to run, I'll be happy."
Secretary of State Clinton has said many times over the past few years that she has no desire to make a 2016 White House run, but rumors have persisted that she could change her mind. And earlier this year, she also shot down reports that she would replace Vice President Joe Biden as President Obama's running mate in November's election.
Still, many in the political field have encouraged her to run, including New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D).
"I'm going to be one of the first to ask Hillary to run in 2016," she recently told Buzzfeed. "I think she would be incredibly well-poised to be our next Democratic president. I think she's extremely well prepared."
