On Sunday, April 12, Hillary Clinton finally announced her bid for the 2016 presidential campaign, the second time she'll be running for president. This comes after years of vague denials that left us in a will-she-won't-she limbo.
Clinton released a short video with her announcement, giving us a glimpse into the direction in which she'll take her campaign—and it looks like she's making an effort to appeal to voters of all identities. The video features everyone from recent grads to those preparing for retirement, a stay-at-home mom to a gay couple—all of different races. And it seems that she's starting the race at a good place; a CBS News Poll conducted in February showed that an overwhelming 81 percent of Democrats would consider voting for her. Of course, this is only the beginning, but we wouldn't be surprised to see Clinton come out as the Democratic nominee this election season.
The campaign is off to a running start; Clinton will be hosting a formal kick-off event next month, and has plans to visit with voters in Iowa and New Hampshire soon, where the New York Times reports she'll be laying down the groundwork for a campaign that will focus on increasing wages and eliminating the wage gap.
