Hillary to announce White House run tomorrow

Washington, Hillary Clinton will announce her second run for the presidency on Sunday, starting her campaign as the Democrats’ best hope of fending off a crowded field of lesser-known Republican rivals and retaining the White House.
The announcement will mark Clinton’s return to the campaign trail seven years after losing the Democratic Party nomination in 2008 to Barack Obama.
Clinton has been a high-profile figure in American politics for more than two decades since her husband, Bill Clinton, won the presidency in 1992, and her fame still eclipses her other likely Democratic contenders and Republican opponents.
Her advisers, including her husband, have urged her to take nothing for granted, arguing voters would be repelled by anything that resembles a pre-ordained coronation.
A Democrat close to the Clinton camp told Reuters on Friday the former US senator and secretary of state would announce her long-anticipated plans through video and social media.
After the announcement, Clinton will travel to early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire, said the source, who asked to remain unidentified. A representative for Clinton declined to comment.
Clinton, 67, has sounded out potential campaign themes during public appearances, casting herself as both a love-filled new grandmother with a vested concern in the future and a wise former diplomat who understands how countries thrive and fail.
In contrast to her 2008 campaign, Clinton has shown signs she will not play down how being a woman distinguishes her from the 44 men who have previously become president.
She has filled speeches with paeans to the moral and economic importance of gender equality and women’s rights, arguing that economic growth, the health of the middle class and the stability of foreign peace treaties all hinge on reducing gender discrimination.
Her nearest likely rivals for the Democratic nomination, former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley and Jim Webb, the former US senator from Virginia, struggle to get a fraction of Clinton’s media coverage, favorable poll numbers and donations.
