3.65m followers on Twitter… now she’s joined Instagram!
She already has a significant presence on Twitter – amassing a total of 3.65m followers since she joined the social media platform two years ago.
But now Hillary Clinton has decided to branch out, signing up to Instagram.
And earlier today she shared her first snap: a row of her signature power pant suits in patriotic red, white, and royal blue.
“Hard choices,” she playfully captioned the image. Incidentally, Hard Choices is also the title of her 2014 memoir.
Ms Clinton, 67, is hoping to become president of the United States next year, and her campaign is already very much underway. Evidently, she is hoping that a strong social-media presence will assist her in reaching out to voters.
A recent Harvard University Institute Of Politics poll shows that 83 percent of 18-29 year-olds in the US are on Facebook, 44 percent are on Instagram and 39 percent are on Twitter. After Facebook, Instagram is the most popular social media tool for millennials.
Her new bio reads simply: "Doting grandmother, among other things. #Hillary2016"
Just five hours after posting her inaugural photograph, it had notched up some 7,500 likes, with a total of 35,200 people opting to follow her.
Barack Obama joined the same photo-sharing service back in 2012 and now has 4m followers.
Hillary's preference for power trouser suits is much-documented – and indeed, it's a fashion choice that is sometimes mocked by commentators and her critics.
