JUST IN: Fiorina: 'Yes, I am running for president'



"I am running for president. I think I am the best person for the job because I understand how the economy actually works," she said.

"Our nation was intended to be a citizen government... [Americans] believe we need to return to a citizen government and so I think it's totally reasonable to look outside the political class."

In her official campaign launch video, Fiorina took aim directly at Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton. Fiorina is seen sitting in a living room watching a television where Clinton's own campaign announcement video is playing.

Fiorina then abruptly shuts off the television, cutting Clinton off. Fiorina then looks directly into the camera and says, "Our Founders never intended us to have a professional political class."

"The only way to reimagine our government is to reimagine who is leading it," she says in the video. "If you're tired of the sound bites, the vitriol, the pettiness, the ego, the corruption -- if you believe it's time to declare the end of identity politics, if you believe that it's time to declare the end of lowered expectations, if you believe that it's time for citizens to stand up to the political class and say, 'Enough.' Then join us."
