Staffers hired for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign have no idea when she’ll announce her candidacy, according to a report by CNN, but according to The Hill, a news website covering American politics, have been told that they must be prepared to start their campaign roles at any moment starting Monday.
When Clinton launches her campaign by traveling to Iowa and New Hampshire, the network also reported, she will not be accompanied by her husband, former president Bill Clinton.

Until then, they are working out of an office meant for her personal staff, according to the report. The campaign-in-waiting’s digital team has reportedly been operating out of the space’s kitchen.
The team is also reportedly considering various aspects of messaging for the campaign, which is expected to launch in the next few weeks after Clinton signed a lease on office space in Brooklyn.
Clinton is expected to announce her campaign in the coming weeks, The Hill reports. By signing the lease on the office space, she started the clock on the 15 days the Federal Election Commission gives candidates from starting campaign activity to announcing their candidacy. She could also announce sooner.
