Clinton to join US presidential race this weekend, reports say
Former U.S. secretary of state Hillary Clinton will officially launch her 2016 presidential bid - her second White House run - at the weekend, several media outlets reported Friday, according to AFP.
The announcement by Clinton - who would be the clear Democratic frontrunner - is likely to come Sunday via video and social media, the New York Daily News reported, citing a source close to Clinton's campaign.
Britain's Guardian newspaper, also citing a source familiar with the campaign, said Clinton would send a tweet Sunday at noon declaring her candidacy.
She will then send out a video and email announcement, the Guardian said, before launching a tour beginning in the key state of Iowa, the first to vote in the primary season that starts in early 2016.
Spokespeople for Clinton and the Ready for Hillary organization did not comment.
