Hillary Clinton expected to launch presidential campaign Sunday

Hillary Clinton

After years of buildup and tongue-in-cheek proto-campaigning, Hillary Clinton is expected to on Sunday formally announce her 2016 candidacy for the White House. Clinton will make expanding the middle class the focal point of her platform, much in the way Obama did in 2012, according to senior advisers to the former secretary of state who previewed the rollout to The Associated Press. Clinton is expected to make the official announcement on social media, and then follow up the long-awaited move with campaign stops over the next week in the early primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire.
