Prosperity can't be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers; democracy can't be just for billionaires

US Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has held the first major rally in her presidential campaign.

Mrs Clinton outlined her key policies in a speech to thousands of supporters on New York City's Roosevelt Island.

She pledged to be a champion for working families and ensure prosperity would be shared, saying: "America can't succeed unless you succeed."

Her campaign team hopes to boost approval ratings, which have flagged since her soft-launch in April.

Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and daughter Chelsea appeared alongside her.

"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.
