Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign began when former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared her candidacy for U.S. president on April 12, 2015. Clinton became the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee on July 26, 2016 after defeating rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) in the party’s primary. On July 22, 2016, Clinton announced that Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine (VA) would be her running mate in the general election.

Clinton was defeated by Republican Party opponent Donald Trump on November 8, 2016.

Though Clinton officially announced her candidacy for president in April 2015, Politico reported at the time that she had been effectively running for the better part of two years. 12 0){ let parent=divs[divs.length-1].parentNode; let footer=divs[divs.length-1]; delete divs[divs.length-1]; for (let i=2; i
