US Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has vowed to help “everyday Americans” in the first major rally in her presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

Mrs Clinton outlined her key policies in a speech to thousands of supporters on New York City’s Roosevelt Island.<\/p>\n

She pledged to support working families, saying: “America can’t succeed unless you succeed.”<\/p>\n

Her campaign team hopes to boost approval ratings, which have flagged since her soft-launch in April.<\/p>\n

Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and daughter Chelsea appeared alongside her.<\/p>\n

She promised to “make the economy work for everyday Americans, not just those at the top” if elected president next year.<\/p>\n

“Prosperity can’t be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers; democracy can’t be just for billionaires and corporations,” Mrs Clinton, 67, said during the rally.<\/p>\n

“It’s America’s basic bargain… if you do your part, you ought to be able to get ahead, and when everybody does their part, America gets ahead too,” she said.<\/p>\n

    Until now, the former US secretary of state has held small events with selected audiences in early voting states such as Iowa. Saturday’s outdoor rally marked a change in gear for her campaign.<\/p>\n

    Mrs Clinton hopes to make history as the first female US president. If successful she would also keep the White House within the same party for a third term.<\/p>\n

    She did not detail specific policy proposals on Saturday. Her aides say that will happen over the next few weeks on issues including the economy, jobs and college affordability.<\/p>\n

    Jennifer Palmieri, the Clinton campaign’s communications director, said Mrs Clinton plans to give a policy address almost every week in the coming months.<\/p>\n
