Democratic strategist Jennifer Holdsworth said Friday that former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton "absolutely" will have a role in the 2020 elections and will act as a "surrogate" for whoever becomes the party's nominee.

"She should not stay away - she absolutely has a role, she will be a surrogate for whoever the eventual nominee is," Holdsworth told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton and Jamal Simmons during a panel discussion on "Rising."

Holdsworth, who is the senior vice president of issues management at MWWPR Public Affairs, emphasized that Clinton may have lost the 2016 election but she still has a lot of wisdom to offer.

"She has an absolute fount of knowledge that she's going to give all of these candidates and tell them the pitfalls that they should watch out for, but also we have to remember this was a woman who won the popular [vote by] 3 million votes," the Democratic strategist told HillTV.

Holdsworth added that she hopes the former secretary of State will continue to meet with Democratic hopefuls - "except" for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), her chief rival in the 2016 Democratic primary.

CNN reported Thursday that Clinton recently met with former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) to talk about the 2020 presidential election.

The meetings were held earlier this month at Clinton's home in Washington, D.C., and focused on Biden's and Klobuchar's potential White House bids.

Klobuchar's meeting with Clinton reportedly took place shortly before the Minnesota senator announced her candidacy during an event in Minneapolis last Sunday.

Biden, meanwhile, has not made an official announcement on whether he will run, although sources close to the situation say it's likely.

Clinton has been meeting with a range of candidates as the Democratic race gets increasingly crowded, but, like most prominent Democrats, she has yet to make an endorsement.

WASHINGTON — Even before Democrats finish drafting bills to create a single-payer health care system, the health care and insurance industries have assembled a small army of lobbyists to kill “Medicare for all,” an idea that is mocked publicly but is being greeted privately with increasing seriousness.

Doctors, hospitals, drug companies and insurers are intent on strangling Medicare for all before it advances from an aspirational slogan to a legislative agenda item. They have hired a top lieutenant in Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign to spearhead the effort. And their tactics will show Democrats what they are up against as the party drifts to the left on health care.

I guess we now know what Clinton's role is.

doesnt matter, she's not wanted
If she's not wanted as a surrogate the nominee will turn her down.

But she without a doubt has insight into how she beat the most popular politician in America throughout the south.

For someone like Harris, carrying California and the South puts her in a very strong position for the nomination
