A new Hillary Clinton ad couldn't have a more revealing title: "Reshuffle."

As Clinton battles congressional and FBI investigations into email from her time as secretary of state, her campaign released a spot Wednesday in which she argues that "the deck is stacked" against working-class Americans and that it's time to reshuffle it.

The ad will move into a rotation with two biographical spots already airing in Iowa and New Hampshire.

"When you see that you’ve got CEOs making 300 times what the average worker’s making, you know the deck is stacked in favor of those at the top," Clinton says in the ad. "I want it to be back where it was when I came of age. Where my mom who never got to go to college could see her daughter go to law school."

As Politico reported Wednesday, Clinton's getting pressure from fellow Democrats to change her strategy in dealing with the burgeoning email controversy.

Clinton, who grew visibly frustrated when Fox's Ed Henry pressed her about her email Tuesday, could also use a reshuffling of the topics in the news.
