Hillary Clinton said Friday that even though voters have doubted her during elections, the public has repeatedly trusted in her when she's doing the work.
"I take this seriously," she said, after being asked by reporter Ed O'Keefe how she would govern a nation where a majority of voters don't trust her, or Donald Trump, for that matter. But Clinton remembered similar doubts arising during her first bid for Senate in 2000.
"When I started running for the Senate in New York, a lot of the same things were said,” she recalled. “I won, I worked hard for the people of New York, and I was reelected with 67 percent of the vote after I demonstrated that I would be on their side, I would fight for the people I represented," she said.
The same was true of her work as secretary of state, even though voters had elected Barack Obama as president.
"When I left I had a 66 percent approval rating. So ask yourself: Were 67 percent of the people in New York wrong? Were 66 percent of the American public wrong? Or maybe just maybe, when I'm actually running for a job, there is a real benefit to those on the other side in trying to stir up as much concern as possible?"
