US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has reiterated that she is ready to quit American politics.

Speaking at a town hall meeting with State Department employees, Clinton said she is ready to step off "the high wire of American politics."

She added that she is no longer following the Republican White House race and has not watched any debates, ABC News reports.

It is still unclear what she would do after leaving politics but her departure would end a two-person dynasty in American politics.

Her husband Bill Clinton had earlier served two terms as US president, while Hillary has served once as the secretary of state.(ANI)
