"She's committed to spending the next six to eight weeks in a 'ramp up' period where her team will start to build a nation-wide grassroots organization, and she will spend her time engaging directly with voters.

"In May, once her supporters in all 50 states are organized for house parties or to watch over live streams, Hillary will hold her first rally and deliver the speech to kick off her campaign," Clinton's campaign said in a press release.

The official announcement came first from longtime aide and campaign chairman John Podesta in an email to supporters on Sunday afternoon. Shortly after the announcement, the Clinton campaign released a short video.

"I'm getting ready to do something too. I'm running for President.

“Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top.

“Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion so you can do more than just get by, you can get ahead and stay ahead. Because when families are strong, America is strong. So I’m hitting the road to earn your vote. Because it’s your time, and I hope you’ll join me on this journey," Clinton said in the video.

  1. You're not a champion in my book, Hillary. Please abort your launch before it will be aborted for you. You are unfit for command after your Benghazi fiasco. Instead, you should be tried for deserting the four sacrificed heroes who died at Benghazi because of your incompetence as Secretary of State. My prediction: You will lose worse than you did in 2008. Give it up, please!
