Former secretary of state to make second bid for White House

Hillary Clinton will end months of speculation about her political future and launch her long-awaited 2016 US presidential campaign tomorrow, sources said.

The former secretary of state will be making her second bid for president and will enter the race in a strong position to succeed her rival from the 2008 Democratic primary, President Barack Obama. If elected, she would be the nations first female president.

The first official word that Clinton will seek the Democratic Partys nomination will come via an online video posted on social media.

She will then make stops in key early voting states, including Iowa and New Hampshire, where she will hold small events with voters. One Democrat familiar with the campaign rollout said Clintons stops would include visits to peoples homes in those early states.

Clinton appears unlikely to face a stiff primary opponent, though a handful of lower-profile Democrats have said they are considering their own campaigns.

Should she win the nomination, the former first lady would face the winner of a Republican primary season that could feature as many as two dozen candidates.

Among them, Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida is expected to formally announce his campaign in Miami on Monday a day after Mrs Clintons announcement on social media.

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, the son and brother of two former presidents, and Wisconsin governor Scott Walker are also expected to enter the race, with both considered early frontrunners.
