Clinton Makes Her Case for White House

June 13, 2015 · 1:48 pm ET · 78 Comments

“Sketching a vision of a more hopeful, inclusive America that takes care of own while taking on big challenges such as climate change, Hillary Clinton said Saturday she is running for president to be the champion the country needs now, as well as its history-making first female commander in chief,” the Washington Post reports.

“Clinton launched her campaign in earnest with a 45-minute address that melded her personal biography as an advocate for women and children with promises of policy changes she promised would make the country fairer for all. It was the first time since entering the race in April that Clinton made a sustained case for her second run for the White House and told voters why she thinks she deserves to win.”

Said Clinton: “I may not be the youngest candidate in this race, but I’ll be the youngest woman president in the history of the United States.”
