Hillary Rodham Clinton is running for president, leaning on a message of middle-class rescue and claims that America's economy is 'still stacked in favor of those at the top,' according to a campaign video that went online Sunday afternoon.
'I'm getting ready to do something,' Clinton says in the brief ad, following a series of clips of ordinary-looking Americans describing what they're 'getting ready' for.
'I'm running for president,' she says.
'Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion.'
Her chief of staff John Podesta stepped on her announcement with an email to a group of donors on Sunday.
'I wanted to make sure you heard it first from me -- it's official: Hillary's running for president,' Podesta wrote.
He said the former secretary of state 'is hitting the road to Iowa to start talking directly with voters. There will be a formal kickoff event next month.'
'We need to make the middle class mean something again,' Podesta's email closed. 'We can do this.'
