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
