Hillary Clinton is reportedly announcing her official candidacy for the Presidential campaign this 2016 over the weekend.
According to a statement issued by a source to the Daily News, the former secretary of state's announcement will be via a video and the social media. Aside from the social media campaigns and videos, Clinton is also expected to attend events in Iowa and New Hampshire.
The publication also reported that Clinton officially announcing her candidacy for the Democrats remains to be strong since her competitors do not come close to her as per the poll ratings and surveys. However, the Quinnipiac University poll showed on Thursday that Clinton's support from states such as Iowa, Colorado and Virginia started to decline.
Veteran Democratic strategist Jim Manley said in a statement to the publication that Clinton's possible announcement this weekend is of great news because the quicker people know that she is in the race, the better the possibility of her winning. If she announces her candidacy, she will also be able to ward off the issues thrown at her by the Republicans.
Clinton has been the center of controversy for the past weeks now due to the personal email that she used when she was still the Secretary of State from the White House. She used her personal email to send work-related emails and Republicans want transparency regarding the issue since there were over 60,000 emails deleted by her team before the emails left were archived by the State Department.
Aside from Clinton, other candidates for the presidential bid have already made their formal announcements. For the Democrats, Clinton will be competing with former Virginia Senator Jim Webb as well as former Governor of Rhode Island Lincoln Chafee.
Candidates from the Republican side include Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, reports Business Insider.
