Speaking to People, Clinton jokingly said that Kardashian had an “unfair advantage” in the quiz. Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, who served as the quizmaster during the contest, responded by saying:

“Kim has studied more recently than you.”

Clinton further mentioned that the loss was “heartbreaking” but shared that she and her daughter were left impressed by Kardashian:

“She worked so hard (on the bar) and persevered... We didn't interview her about fashion... her many lines of commerce... her personal life. We interviewed about what she was doing to help get people who were unjustly or unfairly incarcerated have a second chance.”

Chelsea continued to praise the SKIMS founder and said that the latter works towards making a positive change:

“She never wants to make a negative difference, so being judicious and thoughtful about when and where and how she engages was really impressive to us.”

Meanwhile, she also defended her mother and said that the former first lady needs to practice her timing with the buzzer:

“I think she just needs to work on her reaction time. Sometimes, I could see my mom knew what the answer was, but she wouldn't hit the buzzer in time.”

While Kardashian made news after passing her baby bar law exam in December 2021, Hillary Clinton graduated with a law degree from Yale University and became a practicing lawyer and law firm partner before becoming the first lady of the US.
