Clinton reportedly to announce 2016 plans Sunday
By Jessica Taylor
Hillary Clinton's presidential announcement will come via a video released on social media at noon on Sunday, according to a Friday report.
Business Insider reported the former secretary of State would announce her long-expected White House bid on either Saturday or Sunday, citing a single unnamed source. CNN followed Friday with a report saying Clinton's campaign would release a video Sunday at noon kicking off her 2016 bid.
The Democratic frontrunner has long been expected to make her presidential campaign official this month, and speculation was further stoked when she recently leased office space in Brooklyn, N.Y., for her headquarters.
She has been hiring aides and quietly staffing up, and an announcement soon would fit with her anticipated timeline.
The 2016 race already has two official entrants on the GOP side, with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) announcing late last month and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) launching his run on Tuesday.
But a weekend announcement from Clinton could step on the toes of another likely White House hopeful — Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is expected to launch his own presidential campaign on Monday evening in Miami.
