"Prosperity can't be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers," 67-year-old Clinton told a crowd of 5,500 people during a rally held on Roosevelt Island
Hillary Clinton used the first major rally of her second presidential run yesterday to declare that the goal of her presidency would be to tip the nation's economic scales back towards the middle class.
"Democracy can't be just for billionaires and corporations. Prosperity and democracy are part of your basic bargain, too. You brought our country back. Now it's time, your time, to secure the gains and move ahead. And you know what? America can't succeed unless you succeed. That is why I am running for president of the United States," she told the cheering crowd
Hillary Clinton,the former secretary of state announced her campaign in April2015 with a low-key rollout and has been holding listening sessions with voters in several states.
Her husband, former US President Bill Clinton, and their daughter Chelsea stood by in support. It was the first time that the family was seen together in public since Clinton began her campaign to become America's first woman president.
