"I'll apply to the US President," said the 52-Year-old, engaged, among other things, to combat sexual violence against women. "I know that I have the compassion, courage and fearless determination to succeed." She wanted to improve the health care of American families and against "corruption and greed" to fight.
Tonight I announced that I’m preparing to run for president, because I believe we're all called to make a difference. I believe in right vs. wrong – that wrong wins when we do nothing. Now is our time to raise our voices and get off the sidelines. Join me: https://t.co/I1vp93u0wh
