"Well, again, I don't take anything for granted," she said, "but hopefully with Pennsylvania's help, she will be our next president, and yes, I do think she'll be a better president."
Asked about her daughter's comment at a news conference in Hammond, Ind., the former first lady smiled broadly and laughed.
"I have to talk to her before I answer that question," she said.
