Taking to Twitter the 73-year-old Democrat leader wrote "Do not lose heart (Vote.) and shared her four-year-old tweet which said, "Scripture tells us: Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, we shall reap, if we do not lose heart". The message displayed a smiling photo of Clinton which she tweeted on November 9, 2016, after losing to Republican candidate Trump.

She also pinned another tweet dated November 9, 2016, to the top of her Twitter handle. The tweet said, "To all the little girls watching...never doubt that you are valuable and powerful & deserving of every chance & opportunity in the world." Clinton has been supportive of Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden, at fundraisers, in interviews and on Twitter. But she's been notably absent from the campaign trail, according to reports. Last week, the former first lady announced that she would serve as one of New York's 29 electors to the Electoral College if Biden and his running mate Senator Kamala Harris win the state.
