Hillary Clinton Just Announced She is Running for President

It's official. Hillary Clinton has put an end to months of speculation by
officially announcing her candidacy for President of the United States.
The former secretary of state announced that she will be seeking the
nomination on Sunday with a campaign video on her official website.
Clinton's run for the presidency will hardly come as a surprise. The
politician has long been hyped as
the Democratic frontrunner for the 2016 election.
This marks Clinton's second time vying for the presidency. She first ran
during the 2008 election, but lost the Democrat ticket to then-junior
senator Barack Obama. Clinton later served on Obama's cabinet, working
as the secretary of state from the start of his presidency in 2009 through
Feb. 1, 2013.
When Clinton, 67, left her position in 2013, political watchers took it as a
sign that the former first lady was preparing for her own campaign in
2016.
Her announcement makes her the first major candidate to seek out the
Democratic nomination. On the Republican side, Senator Ted Cruz, from
Texas, and Senator Rand Paul, from Kentucky, have already thrown their
hats into the ring, People.com reports.
