Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler tipped his hand on who he believes will be the next president: Hillary Clinton. When asked if the 69-year-old Chairman would consider serving another term under the next President, Chairman Wheeler replied to applause and laughter: "She hasn't asked me." "I'll be 71 when I leave this job. So I may just play with the grandkids," Chairman Wheeler said about his plans after he leaves the FCC. It would be no surprise for Chairman Wheeler, a Democrat, to give his tacit endorsement to Clinton, who is the strong favorite to win the Democratic nomination. An aide to Chairman Wheeler clarified, however, that his comments were not an official endorsement and were made in jest.
