NEW YORK --

Clinton, the former first lady and secretary of state who lost the 2008 nomination to Barack Obama, will begin this time by courting voters in living rooms and cafes in early voting states. If victorious in 2016, she would become the nation's first female president.

The first official word of her candidacy will come in a video posted on social media and to supporters online, according to two people familiar with her plans. She will then turn to states such as Iowa and New Hampshire, looking to connect directly with voters in small, intimate settings.

The people familiar with her plans spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss them publicly.

Members of the political group Ready for Hillary held one last rally in New York on Saturday. They're urging former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to run for president.

Dozens of supporters, elected officials and Democratic leaders gathered at a fundraiser the day before Clinton is expected to officially announce her presidential campaign.

They packed a lower Manhattan restaurant and frequently chanted the would-be candidate's first name. U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney led the cheers.

The group has raised more than $15 million over the last two years and held events in all 50 states.

In response, the Republican National Committee has launched a #StopHillary campaign. It posted a new video to YouTube:

Clinton has offered glimpses in recent speeches of why she will again seek the White House. Another preview came Friday in the epilogue to the paperback version of her 2014 book, "Hard Choices."
