Hillary Van Trip Rolls Across Pennsylvannia

Hillary Clinton drives to Iowa

"When Hillary Clinton said she was going to hit the road, she meant it.
The newly declared presidential candidate is on her way to Iowa, from New York, in a van after announcing her candidacy online Sunday afternoon.

The former secretary of state, who is trying to become the first female president, is set to appear in Iowa — the influential early-voting state — on Tuesday for a series of small, private events. But first, she’ll be driving with two campaign aides — Nick Merrill and Huma Abedin — making unplanned stops along the way.


While she has no planned pit stops on her road trip — which was her own idea — the candidate stopped by a gas station in Pennsylvania on Sunday. She later tweeted a picture of the stop, saying, “Road trip! Loaded the van & set off for IA. Met a great family when we stopped this afternoon. Many more to come. -H”


Clinton asked top aides whether a road trip was feasible about a month ago, one of her staffers said. Instead of a motorcade, she is traveling in a three-car caravan, the smallest possible arrangement given the former first lady’s security constraints." Politico
