Hillary Clinton is today expected to confirm she is running for the Democratic nomination to be the president of the US, effectively firing the starting gun on the 2016 election campaign.

The former Secretary of State and First Lady has long been the runaway favourite to be the party's candidate for the election next November.

It is expected she will make the announcement via a video message on Twitter before heading off to a first campaign event in Iowa.

The Midwest state was where her last campaign for president in 2008 began to unravel when she lost the caucuses to then senator Barack Obama.

Iowans are the first to vote for their candidates and Mrs Clinton is reported to be planning on a low key meeting a small group of voters. She is trying to counter the image that she is out of touch with real Americans.

The state, which has traditionally been evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, is currently hosting its annual horse fair and attendees gave Mrs Clinton's expected candidacy a mixed reception.

Katherine Resler said: "I won't vote for her. I don't think she is very trustworthy. I don't think she relates well to other people."

Hannah Hilsabeck said: "I definitely think we need to have a woman in office. I think that would be huge for all women everywhere and just show we can do just as good a job as a guy can."

Opinion polls have consistently put Mrs Clinton ahead of potential Republican rivals but the gap has narrowed in recent weeks.
