During a campaign speech in Kentucky on Monday, Hillary Clinton shook her head and said "No" when asked by reporters whether she was planning on appointing her husband, former US President Bill Clinton, to a Cabinet position should she win November's election.
Earlier in the night, Ms Clinton told the crowd of supporters and reporters at the Lone Oak Little Castle diner, she "expects" her husband to "get to work" should she win the presidency.
This comes a day after she told a rally in Covington, Kentucky, that she planed on putting Mr Clinton “in charge of revitalising the economy".
She said "he knows how to do it" and "especially in places like coal country and inner cities and other parts of our country that have really been left out”.
Ms Clinton's spokesman Nick Merrill said: "It would be getting ahead of oneself to talk about any sort of formalised role for anyone in your administration, which she has said many times with regard to vice presidential speculation and the like, but I think that her point has been time and again that, as I said, he has a lot to offer and it would be foolish not to use that in some capacity. It has not gone any further than that."
Ms Clinton is investing heavily in Kentucky and Oregon ahead of their primaries on Tuesday.
Her rival for the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders has won two-consecutive primaries, in West Virginia and Indiana, respectively.
Shorten supports Clinton
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten is openly endorsing Democrat Hillary Clinton who he says would make a better president.
He believes he has the backing of many people concerned with some of the "extreme views" of Donald Trump, who is tipped to be the Republican presidential nominee.
Nevertheless, Mr Shorten says Australia's alliance with the US will continue to remain strong even under Mr Trump.
Mr Shorten said Trump would be "very difficult" to deal with.
"I don't resile from standing up for Australia," he told reporters in Adelaide on Tuesday.
"I think there are a lot of people who want to see Australia's political leaders not sit on the fence but actually state what they think."
