Hilary Clinton has taken to Twitter to reveal that yesterday's inauguration poet, Amanda Gorman, plans to run for president.

Gorman, 22, captured the attention of the crowd with her poem 'The Hill We Climb', and later relayed her own dreams of office to Hilary Clinton, the first-ever female candidate to receive electoral votes, per Indy100.

Only two other women have stood for high office in the United States; Victoria Woodhull in 1872 and Kamala Harris, who is now the US's first female vice president and the first vice president of Black and Asian descent.

In the video below, Clinton appears to predict Donald Trump's reaction to the 2020 election:

Clinton tweeted after the meeting: "Wasnt [sic] Amanda Gorman's poem just stunning? She's promised to run for president in 2036 and I for one can't wait."

Gorman herself also hinted that she had political ambitions during her recital, saying: "A skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president, only to find herself reciting for one."

However, Gorman is at least a decade away from achieving her ambition, per Indy100, as presidents have to be at least 35 years old.

The 22-year-old has already achieved a lot. As well as becoming the youngest ever inauguration poet, she was the US's first-ever national youth poet at 18, and she has obtained a degree in Sociology from Harvard University.

Gorman previously told The New York Times that she plans to run for president, and in 2018 her college's student newspaper dubbed her "a self-described future candidate for the United States presidency".

She joked to AP before her recital: "I'm going to tell Biden that I'll be back".

Gorman was in the company of a number of former presidents at yesterday's inauguration including Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, however, she revealed that she feels particularly close to Biden as they have both struggled from and overcome speech impediments.

She told The LA Times that her impediment made her "the performer that I am and the storyteller that I strive to be".

Should Gorman's ambition to become president be successful, it is possible that she could become the first female and the first woman of color to lead the free world - if, of course, those shoes have not already been filled by then.
