Hillary Rodham Clinton is running for president, according to her chief of staff John Podesta, who announced the launch quietly to a group of donors via email on Sunday.
'I wanted to make sure you heard it first from me -- it's official: Hillary's running for president,' Podesta wrote.



He said the former secretary of state 'is hitting the road to Iowa to start talking directly with voters. There will be a formal kickoff event next month.'

'We need to make the middle class mean something again,' Podesta's email closed. 'We can do this.'

Podesta leads the Podesta Group, one of Washington's most powerful lobbying firms. He was a senior adviser to President Barack Obama until February.

Mrs. Clinton was expected to launch her long-awaited presidential campaign on Sunday during the hours of the day when she could expect the least immediate pushback – while most Americans were in church.

The campaign's internal schedule had called for a 12:00 p.m. tweet linked to a video, revealing the worst-kept secret in America to more than 3 million online followers.
But shortly after noon, Democratic operatives in Iowa and New York began telling reporters that there would be a delay. 'She's taking her time,' one told Daily Mail Online, 'trying to build anticipation.'
