Hillary Clinton launches new politico group Onward Together

Former US secretary of States Hillary Clinton has launched a new political organisation designed to push back against US President Donald Trump and mobilise future leaders.

Hillary, 69 the former Democratic presidential nominee in the last US presidential election, on Monday announced the creation of Onward Together, an adaptation from her campaign theme Stronger Together.

"The groupencourage people to get involved, organise, and even run for office," she tweeted.

"This year hasn't been what I envisioned, but I know what I'm still fighting for: a kinder, big-hearted, inclusive America," Clinton wrote.

The group's mission statement takes an indirect swipe at the US president by noting Clinton won 66 million votes in the last election which is about three million more than Trump.

She becomes the latest high-profile Democrat to launch an independent group after former president, Barack Obama, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and 2004 Democratic nominee Howard Dean all helped create political organisations.

"More than ever, I believe citizen engagement is vital to our democracy," Clinton tweeted.
