New Yorker releases cover they would have run if Hillary Clinton won 2016 election

The New Yorker shared its cover on Wednesday that would have been published if Hillary Clinton had defeated Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

The Washington Post reports that the cover image, titled ‘The First,’ was created by Malika Favre and “depicts a historic President Hillary Clinton gazing at the moonlight from the would-be viewpoint of the Oval Office.”

The revelation comes amid the release of Clinton’s new book, ‘What Happened,’ in which she makes various critical assertions about President Trump and others.

The New York Daily News reports that in the book, she refers to Trump as a “clear and present danger to the country and the world,” and goes on to ask, “I sometimes wonder: If you add together his time spent on golf, Twitter and cable news, what’s left?”

In response to Clinton’s criticism of Trump, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders fired back during Tuesday’s briefing.

“I think it’s sad that after Hillary Clinton ran one of the most negative campaigns in history and lost, and the last chapter of her public life is going to be now defined by propping up book sales with false and reckless attacks,” Sanders said.
