Democrat senator, one of them a senator, says clinton needs to step up and explain her reasoning. And nbcs tracie potts is on capitol hill with a look at the fallout. Reporter at this hour the big question barbara, whether Hillary Clinton is going to address this publicly for the first time beyond the tweet urging the state department to make her emails public. She hasnt said anything hasnt issued a statement, and now even her supporters are saying she needs to get out there and start explaining things. Why she use add personal email address, only a personal email address, and not her state. Gov.

Everyone else seems to have an opinion. Dianne feinstein said she needs to come out, it may hurt her chances if she decides to run for president next year. Chuck schumer, another big democrat saying he thinks its a bump in the road and president obama is glad she tweeted about it but still lots of questions about whether and when shes going to speak. Barbara . Thank you very much, tracie tracie. Joining us a Political Writer for nbc news. Good morning. Good morning. So what do you think . Is she going to talk about it . We know shell speak today, but that hardly will come up ap this conference. Will it . The clinton strategy so far to try to ride this out. I think that those close to her believe this is something theyn get past. Clearly she doesnt have democratic opponents willing to come out and say within her own party, to come out and say she needs to speak up because this is going to be a longterm problem for her, although youre hearing from democrats including dianne feinstein, a highly respected democratic senator from california saying she needs to come forward. But the bottom line is that beyond that tweet, i think she still needs to speak up in person on camera. Republicans are going to keep talking about this for the next year. So do people think she will come out and make a speech about this or maybe incorporate it in Something Else like her speech today . Right. Im not sure shell come out and give an entire address about this but an additional statement, whether at an event or press conference to answer questions. One problem clinton sometimes has with the electorate sometimes people think clinton is not transparent and this is feeding into that very much. And possibly damaging possibilities for 2016 . No. Damping her reputation in the long run and could be hurtful in a general election but with democrats shes still got very high approval ratings. Polling, while this controversy was going on have not shown her to be hurt within her own party very much. Speaking of polls, nbc has a new poll looking at republican potential candidates.
