The news came via an email to party stalwarts from John Podesta, a top Clinton advisor and a loyalist, who said Clinton would soon embark on a tour in Iowa.
“I wanted to make sure you heard it first from me – it’s official: Hillary’s running for president,” Podesta said in an email addressed to Democratic supporters.
Her widely anticipated second bid for the White House comes as the former U.S. First Lady and junior senator of New York just this week unveiled a campaign headquarters in Brooklyn—one of New York City’s hippest redoubts and a bastion of Democratic votes. Yet her putative challengers in both the Democratic and Republican parties have a head start in making their case, and have spent weeks launching salvos at her record and image.
