After
years of often-breathless speculation about her future, Hillary Rodham
Clinton confirmed one of the worst-kept secrets in politics: She’s
running for president. The former first lady and secretary of state
officially entered the 2016 presidential race with a video announcement
to supporters Sunday, saying she wants to be the champion of “everyday
Americans.”
“Americans
have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is
still stacked in favor of those at the top,” Clinton told supporters at
the end of a more than two-minute-long video posted on her official
campaign website, hillaryclinton.com. “Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion so you can do more than just get by.”
While
she told voters in 2008 that she was “in to win,” Clinton told voters
Sunday that she is “hitting the road to earn your vote, because it’s
your time.”
“I hope you’ll join me on this journey,” Clinton added.
