Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton formally launched her candidacy for the U.S. presidency on Sunday, becoming the third officially declared candidate of the 2016 election cycle amid hopes to 'break the glass ceiling' as the first female leader of the free world.
The news came via an email to party stalwarts from John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chair and a longtime loyalist, who said Clinton would soon embark on a tour in Iowa, an early caucus state that she lost in 2008.
"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. The email preceded the launch of a campaign website and YouTube page.
