Chelsea Clinton, a special correspondent for NBC News, recorded the interview in St. Louis, where she appeared over the weekend with her father, former President Bill Clinton, at a Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI-U) event she helped run.

Dressed in a light blue CGI-U tee shirt, Clinton was first asked about her mother?s political future. ?I deeply respect and appreciate all of the admiration and respect and gratitude for my mother's service,? the younger Clinton told NBC correspondent John Yang.? ?As a daughter, I very much want her to make the right choice for herself, and I know that will be [the] right choice for our country, and I?ll support her in whatever she chooses to do.?

In the past week, there were several developments which Associated Press political writer Ken Thomas referred to as ?a soft rollout of sorts? for Hillary Clinton?s political future, should she decide to have one. She gave her first two public speeches since leaving the State Department ? last Tuesday at the Kennedy Center in Washington for the Vital Voices in Global Leadership Awards and a second on Friday in New York City at the annual Women in the World Conference.
