Hillary Clinton: "America Can't Succeed Unless You Succeed"

Hillary Clinton presented her case for the White House in NYC on Saturday, saying she will fight for economic prosperity for all Americans. "You brought our country back. Now it's time, your time, to secure the gains and move ahead," she said. "And you know what? America can't succeed unless you succeed. That is why I am running for president of the United States." The former secretary of state gave the speech at Roosevelt Island during the first major rally of her 2016 presidential campaign.

It's been just over two months since Hillary officially announced her bid for the White House in a video shared on April 10, confirming years of speculation that she would seek the Democratic nomination yet again. In the following weeks, Hillary took her campaign to Iowa and New Hampshire and even joined Instagram, where campaign staff shared photos of Saturday's event.
