She's In: Hillary Clinton Announces Candidacy For President

DETROIT - (CBSNewYork-Detroit/AP) - Some say the second time around is better. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is hoping that's the case as she made her second bid for the presidency official. On CNN's State of the Union Sunday, Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow says Clinton can hit the ground running on day one.

"Truth is once you hold that baby - you are all about the future, so I have absolutely no doubt in my mind she's doubling down, like I have ... it's about what's going to be there for our grandkids," said Stabenow.

Hillary Rodham Clinton jumped back into presidential politics on Sunday, announcing her much-awaited second campaign for the White House.

As she did in 2007, Clinton began her campaign for the 2016 Democratic nomination with a video. But rather than follow it with a splashy rally, she instead plans to head to the early-voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire, looking to connect with voters directly at coffee shops, day care centers and some private homes.

"Everyday Americans need a champion. I want to be that champion," she says in the video.

The former first lady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State will announce her candidacy for the 2016 Presidential race Sunday with an online video and several small events.
