“This is a chance I’m sure she’s been looking forward to for a very long time,” said one longtime Clinton ally. “I think she’s anxious to put this dark period behind us and get the nation back on track.”

“I think this speech is less about the past and more about the future,” the ally added.

Clinton’s speech — which was still being tweaked as of Tuesday — is expected to serve as part cautionary tale, while foreshadowing what a second term under Trump could look like if Joe Biden isn’t elected, Clinton allies say.
