Kirsten Gillibrand Announces Run for Presidency
The Democratic senator of New York, appearing on Tuesday’s Late Show With Stephen Colbert, revealed she will enter the 2020 race. Gillibrand, 52, is a vocal critic of President Trump and supports causes ranging from repealing “don’t ask, don’t tell” to combating sexual assault on college campuses. She told Colbert she would make a good president “because as a young mom I am going to fight for other people’s kids as hard as I would fight for my own.” OZY spoke to her in 2017 about her start in politics and women’s activism.
