WASHINGTON—Hillary Rodham Clinton says she’s running for president.
The former first lady and secretary of state made her 2016 plans official on her campaign website Sunday.
She says in a video that “everyday Americans need a champion. I want to be that champion.”
Clinton is aiming to be the first female president.
Clinton enters the Democratic primaries in a strong position to succeed her 2008 rival, President Barack Obama.
Following Sunday’s announcement, she’s expected to travel soon to early voting states, including Iowa and New Hampshire.–Ken Thomas
