Barack Obama and Democratic Party

Clinton: Seven years after her bitter nomination defeat to Barack Obama, the former secretary of state and one-time first lady would enter the race as the Democratic Party overwhelming favorite, as Clinton and her rivals gird for a bruising 18-month campaign, according to Nine News Australia. Her announcement is likely to be delivered via social media and accompanied by a video highlighting her political and economic philosophy, according to US news outlets citing sources close to Clinton operations. AFPHillary Clinton is expected to finally announce her White House candidacy tomorrow, empowering her to parry Republican attacks as she seeks to become the United States' first female president. It will no doubt trigger a donor deluge from supporters who have long waited for her to officially enter the race, a move that would allow them to contribute directly to her 2016 election effort. On Saturday, the team hunkered down in Clinton headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, where upcoming campaign manager Robby Mook reportedly delivered a memo to staff urging teamwork in the months ahead."We are a diverse and talented family... and have each other backs," the memo states, according to Politico, perhaps in an effort to avoid the infighting among top aides that marred Clinton 2008 run. Clinton campaign-in-waiting has quietly organized for months, bringing on key staffers and advisors, plotting outreach operations and strategizing. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
