Clinton first ran against Barack Obama for president in 2008, finishing second in the Democratic primaries that year, then served as his Secretary of State from 2009-13. She then defeated Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination in 2016 and took on former reality show host Trump. Clinton won the popular vote by about 3 million but was beat soundly in the Electoral College, 306-232.
If Biden also wins Georgia, where he is leading, he would have the exact same number of electoral votes.
The Moment When Networks Called The Presidential Race For Joe Biden
Clinton, of course, worked with Biden when she was Secretary of State and he Vice President in the Obama administration. They were also in the senate together, she as a senator from New York and he a senator from Delaware.

Congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on your momentous victory!”
