Hillary Clinton from childhood to Presidential Candidate

Hillary Clinton Thumbs Up 

Hillary Clinton is for the children.

On Thursday, the presumptive Democratic nominee took to Instagram, sharing a new campaign video in which she promotes her longstanding journey to help children across the globe.

"For Hillary, one thing's never changed: Helping children has been a cause of her life, and it always will be," the video was captioned.

The clip begins in 1950, showing a young Clinton playing on a front lawn before it fast forwards to her college graduation in 1973 and onto her political career, including her time in Arkansas in the eighties, her stint as First Lady starting in 1997 and her term as Secretary of State beginning in 2009.

Throughout the video, a narrator details Clinton's achievements and efforts, including her education reform, fighting for healthcare for eight million kids and working to end trafficking.

Just as Clinton's newest video emphasized her inspiring a new generation, she shared a letter from a young voter who detailed her plans to support Clinton, despite being too young to vote.

"My grandpa is voting for you so he is taking my vote!" the child wrote in a letter to presumptive Democratic nominee. "I think you would make a good president because there has never been a girl president and I think you must have good laws in mind too!"


Clinton's campaign has been on a winning streak since she claimed victory in a handful of Western states earlier this month, including California, and later took the Washington D.C. primary by a wide margin.

Although she's already garnered the necessary amounts of delegates to be named the presumptive nominee, her rival, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, has vowed not to concede until the Democratic National Convention in July.

Still, Clinton has received a handful of heavyweight endorsements as of late, including President Obama and Oprah Winfrey.

"It's about time that we make that decision," Winfrey told Jimmy Kimmel. "Regardless of your politics, it's a seminal moment for women. What this says is, there is no ceiling, that ceiling just went boom! It says anything is possible when you be leader of the free world. I'm with her."
